With "Trump's Blessing" IsrAlien Warplanes Blew Up a Residential Building in Qatar, a sovereign nation, ‘b/c Hamas was Meeting for Peace Talks’

From [HERE] The Israeli military launched airstrikes in Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday in an attempt to target Hamas political leadership, marking a major Israeli escalation in the region that dims any hope of a ceasefire in Gaza.

A source told Al Jazeera that the attack occurred while Hamas officials were gathered to discuss a ceasefire proposal from the US. Suhail al-Hindi, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said that Hamas’s leadership survived the attack, while the son of acting Hamas political bureau chief Khalil al-Hayya was killed, along with several of his aides. Qatar’s Interior Ministry said that a Qatari security officer was also killed in the attack.

Hamas later issued a statement that said none of its political leaders were killed in the attack. It said a total of six people were killed, including al-Hayya’s son, four office staff, and the Qatari officer.

According to Israeli media, Israeli warplanes dropped more than 10 bombs on a residential building where Israel believed Hamas leaders were gathering, an area of Doha near schools and embassies. Qatar has hosted a Hamas office since 2012, a step it took at the request of the US.

Sources told Middle East Eye President Trump “blessed” the attack on Qatar, which his a major non-NATO ally of the US and hosts about 10,000 US troops, although US officials speaking to other media outlets claim that the US was notified while Israeli warplanes were in the air.

Israeli Channel 12 reported, citing an Israeli official, that US President Donald Trump gave the green light for the Israeli occupation to launch airstrikes on Hamas leadership in Qatar. The channel added that Washington maintains control over Qatari airspace, requiring “Israel” to coordinate with the US before carrying out such operations.

In an official statement, the Qatari Foreign Ministry condemned what it described as a “cowardly Israeli attack” targeting residential compounds in Doha where members of Hamas’ political bureau were residing. The ministry stressed that Qatar would not tolerate any act undermining its security and sovereignty. [MORE]
