Starmer to Challenge Israeli President Herzog After Qatar Attack
Israel and United States coordinated an air strike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, escalating regional tensions and prompting Qatar to denounce the attack as a violation of its sovereignty.
- On Tuesday, Israeli forces struck Doha, Qatar, targeting Hamas leadership; the Israeli military said it `conducted a precise strike` aimed at those leaders.
- High-Level coordination involved senior meetings, including US Central Command chief Gen. Brad Cooper and Israeli officials, with Channel 13 reporting daily communications before the operation.
- Qatar said it was warned, but AP reported explosions occurred before a US call arrived, and five Hamas members, including Khalil Al‑Hayya's son, were killed.
- Qatar told the United Nations the strike threatens regional security, denied prior warning, and Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al‑Thani said it `will not tolerate any violation` and reserves the right to respond.
- Political leaders are demanding a ceasefire, while Keir Starmer, UK Labour Party leader, warned Herzog that the Doha strike risks escalation despite mediation efforts.

Qatar threatens response to Israel's 'terrorist attack'
Prime Minister Al-Thani said: 'There must be a response'; He claimed that, contrary to previous reports, U.S. officials warned Doha about the attack 10 minutes after it had already begun: 'This day can only be described in one word - betrayal. There is a rogue actor in the region, Netanyahu is leading to an irreversible escalation'
For the first time since its independence more than 50 years ago, Qatar itself has been the target of an attack. Israel's attack on the Hamas leadership in Doha is the focus of the Emirate. The Gulf State has played a key role in this for years: as a funder of Hamas, mediators and important US partners.
