Arab and Muslim leaders convened emergency talks Monday after Israel struck Hamas targets in Qatar's capital. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani condemned the attack as treacherous aggression during the joint summit. The Qatari leader accused Israel of sabotaging Gaza ceasefire negotiations through assassination attempts. Hamas confirmed six deaths while stating senior officials survived the Doha airstrike. Qatar has served as a primary mediator alongside Egypt and the United States in Gaza peace efforts.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared his country acted independently without American involvement in the Qatar operation. The strike occurred as Hamas representatives discussed new United States peace proposals. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Israel before traveling to Qatar, demonstrating Washington's regional engagement. Iraqi and Turkish leaders proposed defense alliances and economic independence for Muslim nations. The United Nations Human Rights Council announced urgent discussions regarding Israel's strike.
