Israel launched an air strike on the headquarters of the Hamas political leadership in Qatar on September 9, 2025. It happened as the group’s top figures gathered to consider a US proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The strike on the territory of a US ally marked a stunning escalation and risked upending talks aimed at winding down the war and freeing Israeli hostages. The attack angered Qatar, an energy-rich Gulf nation hosting thousands of American troops that has served as a key mediator between Israel and Hamas throughout the 23-month-old war and even before. World leaders condemned the strike as Doha vowed to continue its mediation role.
