Funeral being held in Doha though it’s unclear who’s being buried; Trump said to tell Netanyahu in heated phone call that strike was ‘unacceptable’ and demand that Israel not target Qatar again
Qatar will host an emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha on Sunday and Monday to discuss the Israeli attack on the Gulf state’s capital city that targeted Hamas leaders, according to an invitation received Thursday by Qatar’s news agency.
The unprecedented Israeli airstrike on Tuesday targeted a meeting of Hamas’s top leaders, headlined by Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya, as they were said to be gathered at the group’s political offices in Doha to discuss a new US-sponsored hostage-ceasefire proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza.
According to Hamas, none of the main leadership members targeted in the strike were killed, and Israel is said to be increasingly pessimistic about the success of the strike but has no definitive intelligence on who was killed.
