Israel Launches Military Strike On Hamas Leaders In Doha Amid Regional Outcry

Israel conducted a military strike in Doha targeting senior Hamas leaders, which Israel claims was a response to orchestrated attacks against it. The strike has drawn widespread condemnation from Middle Eastern and other countries, including Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, and the Maldives, all of whom described the attack as a violation of international law and a threat to regional security. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also condemned the strike, warning that continued escalation could have global consequences and emphasizing the need for a just peace for the Palestinian cause. Israel has taken full responsibility for the attack, and Israeli media allege that the United States gave approval. The attack has heightened tensions in the region, with Qatar pledging to defend its sovereignty and the Maldives calling for international action to hold Israel accountable. The mother of Israeli captive Matan Zangauker criticized Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, accusing him of undermining peace efforts amid the conflict.
