US Position and Trump's Role


Media figure and parliamentarian Mustafa Bakri commented on the Hamas delegation's survival of the Israeli attack, which he described as"criminal," on the Qatari capital, Doha.

He wrote in a post on his official page on the X platform, Tuesday evening:"Who will restore the rights of Qatar, whose sovereignty was violated and whose borders were breached? The gloaters are the Zionists, the servants of Israel, and those who cheer the enemy with joy."

He added,"Whether the delegation is martyred or not, the flame of resistance will continue. We will die standing and we will not accept humiliation. Whether it takes a long time or a short time, the Zionists will leave, and the Palestinian people will remain on their land."

In another post, he stressed the importance of unifying Arab efforts and taking a decisive stance against the Israeli enemy.

He continued:"Regardless of any positions or any disagreement, when Qatar is subjected to aggression, border breaches, and an assault on its sovereignty, we all stand with Qatar. Qatar is an Arab country, and the time has come to unify efforts and take a decisive stance against the Zionist enemy. Israel is isolating us one by one."

Israel bombed the Hamas negotiating delegation on Tuesday. Qatar condemned the attack, stressing that it would not tolerate any action targeting its security and sovereignty.

Explosions rocked Doha this afternoon, and columns of smoke were seen rising into the city's sky.

A leading Hamas source told Al Jazeera that Israel targeted the negotiating delegation during a meeting in the Qatari capital to discuss US President Donald Trump's proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

The source indicated that the movement's leadership delegation, headed by Khalil Al-Hayya, survived the Israeli assassination attempt.

For its part, the Israeli military announced in a statement that its air force had carried out a precise attack on Hamas leaders in a joint operation by the army and the Shin Bet internal security service.

He added that those targeted in the attack had led Hamas activities for years.
