This week, Israel launched an unprecedented airstrike on Qatar's capital, Doha, claiming it was targeting senior Hamas leaders. Qatar, a key mediator between Hamas and Israel, condemned the strike as a violation of international law and branded it an act of state terrorism. How has Israel been able to act with such impunity? And what does this attack mean for the future of ceasefire negotiations in Gaza?
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.
Unfazed by international outrage over the attack in the Qatari capital, Netanyahu said on Wednesday that countries should applaud Israel for its bombing and killing spree across the Middle East. I say to Qatar and all nations who harbour terrorists, you either expel them or you bring them to justice because if you don't, we will, he said.
