Israel Conducts Airstrike on Hamas Leaders in Qatar, US Condemns Operation

President Donald Trump condemned Israel's airstrike on Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, emphasizing that the attack on a close U.S. ally undermines both American and Israeli goals. The strike, which Israel insisted was an independent operation, targeted Hamas leaders meeting to discuss Trump's Gaza plan, resulting in casualties including the son of a Hamas leader. Trump was informed of the strike by the U.S. military rather than Israel and subsequently directed his special envoy to notify the Qatari government, expressing regret and promising no further attacks on Qatari soil. The White House, through press secretary Karoline Leavitt, sharply rebuked Israel for the attack, underscoring that such unilateral actions jeopardize peace efforts and regional stability. Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also condemned the strikes, affirming solidarity with Qatar and emphasizing the violation of Qatar's sovereignty. Both the U.S. and Pakistan stressed the importance of unity and cooperation in the Muslim world to promote peace and security in the region.
