Across Israeli society, the reaction to the news of a Gaza ceasefire deal has been almost uniform: Joy. In Tel Aviv, the families of those taken captive during the Hamas-led attack on Israel in October 2023 celebrated on Thursday after the announcement. And a man dressed as United States President Donald Trump who played a large part in brokering the deal carried Israeli and US flags and posed for photographs with smiling passersby.

No matter where you are, Israel's long arm' may be coming for you next. And so Israel has struck again. On Tuesday, the Middle East's favourite perennial aggressor launched missiles against the Qatari capital of Doha, targeting Hamas leaders involved in negotiations surrounding a proposal from the United States for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli genocide of Palestinians has officially killed more than 64,000 people in less than two years.

Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry says it condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the brutal Israeli aggression'. An Israeli attack in Qatar's capital, Doha, targeting Hamas officials has drawn swift condemnation from across the region and beyond with the UN chief calling the air strikes a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed that the Israeli military carried out the attack in Doha on Tuesday against Hamas leaders.

Israel is killing all prospects for peace in the Middle East, Jordan's foreign minister has said amid escalating international outrage over Israel's plans for a new large-scale offensive in Gaza City and its intention to massively expand Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Ayman Safadi made his remarks during a visit to Moscow on the same day that the Israeli defence minister, Israel Katz, approved a plan to conquer Gaza City, an urban area that is home to hundreds of thousands of people in the north of the Palestinian territory.
