"Israel has launched a strike on senior Hamas officials meeting in Qatar's capital, Doha, reportedly including the group's chief ceasefire negotiator, in a dramatic escalation of Israeli attacks across the Middle East that has drawn international condemnation. The Israeli strike came hours after its military warned all of Gaza City's residents to evacuate before its planned offensive to take control of what it portrays as Hamas's last remaining stronghold, where hundreds of thousands of people are living under famine conditions."
"Qatar condemned the attack as a blatant violation of international law, language echoed by Antonio Guterres the UN secretary general. Guterres told a media briefing: We are just learning about the Israeli attacks in Qatar, a country that has been playing a very positive role to achieve a ceasefire and release of all hostages. I condemn this flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar."
