Speaker of Israeli Parliament Says Doha Strike Is "Message for the Entire Middle East"
"The speaker of Israel's parliament has suggested that the country is ready to attack its neighbors across the entire region following Israel's unprovoked strike on Qatar on Tuesday. "This is a message for the entire Middle East," Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana said in Arabic in a post on X. Accompanying the text was a video of the strike, showing a large explosion which resulted in a plume of smoke."
"Israel struck Doha on Tuesday, seeking to assassinate key leaders of Hamas's negotiation team as they gathered in the country's capital for talks on the U.S.'s latest ceasefire proposal. Officials said that the strike was on a residential area, and killed a Qatari security officer as well as five members of Hamas. However, none of Hamas's negotiating team was killed, the group said."
"Hamas said that the strike, targeting Hamas negotiators in a key mediator country for ceasefire talks, is further proof that Israel has no interest in agreeing to a ceasefire deal. The strike represents a major escalation even amid Israel's rampant aggression across the region in recent years. Ohana's post is seemingly a threat stating that Israel will bomb any country in the Middle East."
Israel conducted an airstrike in Doha aimed at assassinating key Hamas negotiators gathered for talks on a U.S. ceasefire proposal. The strike hit a residential area, killing a Qatari security officer and five Hamas members, while Hamas reported that none of its negotiating team were killed. Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana posted a video of the blast with the Arabic message "This is a message for the entire Middle East." UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the bombing a flagrant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Observers described the raid as a major regional escalation.
