US EditionBowen: Diplomacy in ruins after Israel strikes Hamas leaders in Qatar
The airstrike killed five lower-level Hamas members but spared top leaders involved in ceasefire talks, prompting Qatar to condemn it as a violation of sovereignty and international law.
- On September 9, 2025, Israeli forces struck a residential site in Doha, Qatar targeting senior Hamas leaders including Khalil al-Hayya during ceasefire talks, Israel confirmed and took full responsibility amid reported smoke and blasts.
- Amid U.S.-brokered ceasefire talks, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly authorized the strike targeting Hamas leadership in Qatar as retaliation for a bus-stop attack that killed six people.
- Hamas and Qatari sources say the strike killed five lower-level Hamas members while Khaled Mashaal and Khalil al-Hayya survived, and Qatar's Ministry of Interior confirmed one internal security member died.
- The White House rebuked Israel and said President Donald Trump called the attack one that `does not advance Israel or America's goals`; Qatar's government condemned it as a breach of international law and sovereignty.
- The strike positions Israel's campaign to extend beyond Gaza into Qatar as a U.S. ally and mediation hub, risking erosion of future ceasefire talks and following a fraught Iran-related incident less than three months earlier.
