Israel has bombed the building in Doha, Qatar that was hosting peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel in an attempt to murder Hamas negotiators.

Israel bombing Qatar a trap by Trump

According to Palestinian media, delegates say that the latest Trump proposal was a trap and that the delegation was lured into the building at the invitation of the US, supposedly to discuss a US proposal, then Israel struck.

Qatari air defences were not activated, which may indicate that a locally-operated drone was used similar to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last year, or else that Qatar either didn’t spot an Israeli aircraft or stood down. The Qatari government has officially condemned the “cowardly Israeli attack”.

UK media are reporting Israel’s murder attempt in another country’s sovereign territory as if it is normal state behaviour – it is certainly habitual for Israel, but in no way ‘normal’.

Israel is a terrorist state and any politician who now colludes with it – such as Keir Starmer welcoming Israeli president Isaac Herzog to the UK this week – is a co-criminal who belongs before a war-crimes tribunal in the Hague.
