US EditionArab and Islamic Leaders Meet in Emergency Summit Over Qatar Strike
- On Wednesday, during the second day of the MEAD conference in Washington, Israel conducted its first-ever airstrike in Qatar, killing at least five lower-ranking Hamas members and one Qatari security officer in Doha.
- The strike followed Hamas's deadly attack near Jerusalem and aimed at Hamas leaders Qatar has hosted for years as a regional mediator with U.S. knowledge and support.
- Qatar condemned the strike as state terrorism and called for Netanyahu to be brought to justice, while Gulf nations expressed anger and warned that such aggression threatens regional security frameworks.
- Netanyahu threatened further strikes if Qatar continued harboring Hamas, but President Trump expressed unhappiness, stating it "does not advance Israel or America's goals," and Israeli opposition questioned its strategic value.
- The attack risks undermining Arab-Israeli normalization and U.S.-led regional integration as Qatar reevaluates ceasefire talks and Gulf allies warn of jeopardized security and peace efforts.
