Israel Strikes Hamas Leaders in Doha as Qatar Suspends Mediation

Washington says it was alerted before the attack, a claim Doha disputes.

Overview

  • Netanyahu’s office said the operation was conducted solely by Israel and aimed at senior Hamas figures gathered in the Qatari capital.
  • Hamas said its top leaders survived; the group reported five members killed, and Qatar named Cpl. Bader Saad Mohammed Al Humaidi Al Dosari among the dead.
  • Qatar condemned a breach of its sovereignty and halted its mediator role, deepening uncertainty over ceasefire and hostage negotiations.
  • The White House said it received advance notice and warned Qatar, while Qatari officials and a U.S. Embassy shelter-in-place pointed to little or no warning.
  • Israel cited recent attacks, including a Jerusalem bus-stop shooting that killed six, as the rationale, as regional capitals issued sharp condemnations and oil prices rose.
