Israel struck Qatar’s capital, Doha, on Tuesday, in missile attacks that it said were aimed at senior leaders of Hamas, including negotiators from the Palestinian group who have been engaged in talks on securing a ceasefire in Gaza.
Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of international law and of its sovereignty, with multiple countries and blocs also lashing out at Israel.
The attack came at a time when Qatar, one of the lead mediators between Israel and the United States, on the one hand, and Hamas on the other, had been trying to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, where Israel has killed more than 64,600 people since October 2023, when it launched a war on the Palestinian enclave.
