Strikes in Qatar: Netanyahu Pushes the Limits in Israel's War Against Hamas
Netanyahu stated Israel targeted Hamas leaders in Qatar due to their terrorism ties and threatened further strikes if Qatar does not expel them, heightening regional tensions.
- On September 9, 2025, Israel launched an airstrike in Doha, Qatar, targeting Hamas leaders hosted in the city.
- The strike followed Hamas' October 7, 2023, massacre against Israel, and Netanyahu justified the attack as a response to terrorism.
- The operation resulted in the deaths of a Qatari internal security member and five Hamas operatives, but senior Hamas officials reportedly survived the strike, according to statements from the group.
- Netanyahu warned Qatar and all countries harboring terrorists that they must remove these individuals or hold them accountable, while Trump criticized the strike as unwise and unauthorized by the United States.
- The attack strained Israel's relations with Qatar and allies, intensified international condemnation, and raised concerns about Qatar's future as a mediator in the Gaza conflict.
