White House Says Trump Notified Qatar Ahead of Israeli Strike on Hamas
- On Tuesday, Israel carried out a targeted airstrike in Doha aimed at Hamas leaders, resulting in six deaths, among them the son of a key negotiator and a member of Qatar’s security forces.
- The strike followed ongoing tensions as Qatar, a Western ally hosting Hamas officials, has mediated between Israel and Hamas and was reportedly notified just before the attack.
- Qatar condemned the attack as a cowardly violation of international law, vowing not to tolerate threats to its security or sovereignty while investigations proceed at the highest level.
- The deaths involved three bodyguards as well as the aide and son of Khalil al-Hayya, the negotiator for the Gaza ceasefire, while several international leaders, among them US President Donald Trump, strongly condemned Israel’s actions.
- The event highlights Qatar's precarious role as a major regional mediator amid ongoing instability and risks tied to its influence in Middle East diplomacy.
