After Failed Israeli Hamas Assassination, Are Gaza Peace Talks Possible?

Israeli airstrike in Doha targeted Hamas senior leaders to disrupt ceasefire talks amid ongoing conflict, with over 64,000 Palestinians killed in retaliatory Gaza offensive, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Israeli forces and the Shin Bet struck the Hamas leadership headquarters in Doha in an operation code-named `Summit of Fire`, killing Khalil al-Hayya, Zaher Jabarin and Nizar Awadallah, Saudi-owned Al Arabiya reported.
  • Two Hamas sources said the delegation, convened to assess Washington's latest proposal and Israel's expected ground entry into Gaza City, met in Doha where al-Hayya's prominence has risen after top leaders' deaths.
  • A veteran of Hamas, Khalil al-Hayya has long led ceasefire talks and been based mostly in Qatar after leaving Gaza Strip, where he was born in 1960, suffering personal losses in the conflict.
  • Qatar and allies called the attack a violation of sovereignty, with officials warning it undermines peace efforts in Gaza and the wider region, while regional governments including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Oman, Kuwait, and Lebanon denounced the strike.
  • In the wider diplomatic context, the United States has sanctioned Hamas leaders since October 7, 2023, and the Gaza health ministry reports over 64,000 Palestinian deaths amid conflicting U.S.-Israeli accounts of prior attack notice.
