The Israeli airstrike on Doha, Qatar’s gleaming capital, last week marks a watershed moment in Middle Eastern geopolitics. This audacious operation, involving a squadron of 15 fighter jets targeting Palestinian leaders sheltered in the Gulf state, shattered long-standing assumptions about regional red lines. I see this not just as an isolated act of aggression but as the crystallization of a bold, reckless Israeli military doctrine. It is one that discards restraint, embraces multifront escalation and treats sovereign borders as mere suggestions.
