Overview

  • Israel said it conducted the Doha strike targeting Hamas negotiators meeting on a US ceasefire proposal; six people were killed, including a Qatari security officer, and Hamas said senior leaders survived.
  • The UN Security Council condemned strikes on Qatar, urged de‑escalation and affirmed Qatari sovereignty in a statement that did not name Israel.
  • Qatar’s prime minister told the council the attack violated Qatar’s sovereignty and damaged hostage efforts, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation and warned of further action.
  • President Donald Trump said he was not notified in time and was “not thrilled” by the strike, and acting US Ambassador Dorothy Shea told the UN the bombing does not advance US or Israeli goals.
  • Doha is pursuing high‑level meetings in Washington and organizing an Arab‑Islamic summit next week, the UAE summoned Israel’s ambassador, and Qatar denied reports it is reevaluating its security partnership with the US.
