The United Arab Emirates has expressed a strong condemnation in response to Israel’s recent military strike targeting key Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. This strike, which took place on Tuesday, is viewed by the UAE and other Gulf nations as a serious escalation and a clear violation of Qatar’s sovereignty.
Details of the Incident
The military action was ordered by Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, following a deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem that resulted in six fatalities. Hamas claimed responsibility for that attack. Among those targeted in the strike was Khalil Al-Hayya, a senior Hamas leader who joined the organization’s leadership council after the death of Sinwar last year.

- Flights to and from Doha by major UAE and Qatari airlines continue as scheduled without disruptions at UAE airports.
Implications for the Gulf Region
