Israel has just tried to murder Palestinian peace-deal negotiators in Doha, Qatar. The terrorist attack reportedly came as the “negotiating team was discussing a Gaza ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States”. Journalist Hamdah Salhut called the strikes an “unprecedented” continuation of how the apartheid state “has been operating in the region with full impunity”, adding:
This is clearly going to be seen as an escalation because the Israeli army is operating in a way that they haven’t before

Reporter Nida Ibrahim, meanwhile, pointed out that:
this is yet another Israeli attempt to thwart any plan, any suggestion, any proposal to bring a cessation of hostilities.

Israel has attacked a growing number of countries in the region since its genocide in Gaza escalated in 2023, including Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria.

How serious can a country be about peace when they keep assassinating those they are meant to be sitting across the table to negotiate a ceasefire with?
Also, Israel once again acts with impunity by violating Qatar’s sovereignty, in a clear breach of international law. https://t.co/cvyIpzwWWz

War-criminal Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed pride over the attack, as did opposition leader Yair Lapid, who called it “exceptional”.
Yet another “flagrant violation of all international laws and norms”
The Israeli terror attack on Doha targeted a secure residential neighbourhood with many foreign embassies and civilians, but apparently failed to kill its targets.
A Qatar spokesperson responded by saying of Israel’s terrorist action:
This criminal attack constitutes a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms and a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents of Qatar
They added that Qatar:
will not tolerate this reckless Israeli behaviour and its continued tampering with regional security, as well as any action targeting its security and sovereignty.
Qatar, however, has a US military base and is a close US ally. And as journalist Asa Winstanley insisted:
The US must have given the green light, no doubt about that.
The Israeli occupation forces have also claimed that it notified the US ahead of the attacks. Indeed, some reports even suggest they coordinated them with the US:

The Israeli attack on Hamas leadership in Qatar was carried out in full coordination with the United States https://t.co/Fn51c1grHn— Middle East Observer (@ME_Observer_) September 9, 2025
Additionally, it seems US, British, and even Qatari aeroplanes were flying over Qatar as the Israeli terror attack took place.
🚨The presence of US KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft, capable of refueling ‘Israeli’ fighter jets, during the attack on Qatar demonstrates not only the United States’ knowledge of the operation but its direct involvement.
The US directly assists while the UK provides support. https://t.co/uuttNt7tY0 pic.twitter.com/UpJa1D5rfw

Scholar Liqaa Maki said:
Israel has proven that it is a country with no inhibition that does not respect international law or global peace and security. It is a threat to security and peace in the world, and thus it must be held accountable… Israel has crossed all red lines.
