"World leaders were quick to criticise Israel for its attack in Qatar on Tuesday, targeting Hamas political leaders discussing a ceasefire in Gaza. United States President Donald Trump, typically one of Israel's most vocal supporters, said he was very unhappy about every aspect of the strike. Germany, long a consistent backer of Israel, declared the attack unacceptable and a violation of Qatar's sovereignty. And India, which, under its nationalist leader Narendra Modi, has largely supported Israel, warned of escalation and said it was deeply concerned."
"But the rhetorical condemnation of Israel's attack may not translate into meaningful policy shifts. Israel has continually ignored international law during its war on Gaza, where it has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians, destroyed the enclave, and caused a famine. It has also repeatedly attacked neighbouring countries and rejected any international criticism it has faced. One could presume that these strikes would mean that Israeli allies who have been rather cautious in their criticism would change their direction, but this is not particularly likely."
Israel conducted a strike in Qatar targeting Hamas political leaders discussing a ceasefire in Gaza. Global leaders including US President Donald Trump, Germany, and India publicly condemned the attack and expressed deep concern. The strike failed to kill senior Hamas leaders but killed five lower-ranking members. Israel has waged a devastating campaign in Gaza, killing over 64,000 Palestinians, destroying much of the enclave, and causing famine, while also striking neighboring countries. Despite repeated breaches of international law and accusations of genocide, allied states have not shifted policy significantly and are unlikely to change course after the Qatar strike.
