Global Outcry Following Israel’s Airstrike on Hamas Leaders in Doha
On September 10, 2025, an Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in a residential area of Doha has sparked widespread condemnation worldwide. The strike involved fighter jets launching missiles at a central compound in Qatar’s capital, where Hamas officials were reportedly gathered to discuss a proposed ceasefire in Gaza presented by the United States.
This military action has raised concerns about violations of international law and the sovereignty of Qatar, prompting outrage among various nations and organizations. Observers are now questioning whether Doha can still maintain its role as a mediator in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and what the implications of this attack may be on regional security.
