Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of the extremist government in Tel Aviv, has added another front to the seven he has said he is fighting on since the start of the war of extermination in Gaza!

Last year, this month, he was addressing the UN General Assembly. He stated that he was fighting on seven fronts: the Houthis in Yemen, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, groups hostile to him in Syria, Iranian militias in Iraq, and finally the Iranian front.

We do not know on what basis he identified these fronts, nor why them in particular? But what we do know is that he targeted all of them, and that he succeeded in some of them and failed in others, and that his arrogance of power tempted him to open an eighth front in the Qatari capital, Doha, and target a meeting there of Hamas leaders. However, what is strange about this front is that it is different from the previous seven fronts, and that its difference in terms of the nature of the relationship that binds it to both Washington and Tel Aviv did not intercede for it!

It's different because Qatar has a strong relationship with the United States, both militarily, with the presence of the Al Udeid Air Base on its soil, and politically, with Washington and Doha coordinating on many publicly announced political matters. There's certainly something hidden in this, but we're talking about what's public and what's apparent.

Even on the economic level, there is much that connects Doha to Washington. When Trump made his first trip after entering the White House, it was to this region, and it was purely economic in nature, with Doha being one of its three stops!

When it is said that the targeted Hamas leaders were discussing the American proposal to stop the war on Gaza, this means that stopping the war no longer concerns Israel, even if the one proposing it was President Trump himself!

Regardless of all the details that have been said, whether it relates to the US and Britain's prior knowledge of the strike, or even Qatar's prior knowledge of it as well, the targeted front is Arab first and foremost, and its relationship with the aggressor and the two parties who had prior knowledge did not change the matter at all. The Arabs are being targeted in general and in detail, and unless the response to this Israeli madness is Arab in flesh and blood - I am talking about action, not reaction - this blind madness will not stop at any point.
