Overview

  • Israel’s strike in Doha targeted Hamas political figures, killed five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer, and left others wounded, with top Hamas leaders reported to have survived.
  • The UN Security Council issued a statement condemning strikes on Qatar and urging de‑escalation without naming Israel, and the acting U.S. ambassador criticized unilateral bombing inside a key U.S. partner.
  • President Trump voiced frustration over insufficient Israeli warning, said the U.S. military tracked the jets, and is set to meet Qatar’s prime minister after talks with senior U.S. officials in Washington.
  • Qatar says the attack violated its sovereignty, is pursuing responses through international legal avenues, and is reassessing its security partnership with the U.S. to deter future strikes.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation, accused Qatar of harboring Hamas, and warned of further actions, while Qatar and mediators say the blow has derailed ceasefire and hostage negotiations.
