Israeli sources report that the U.S. signed off on the attack after inviting leaders to Qatar to discuss Trump’s Gaza ceasefire proposal.

The Israeli Defense Forces said they were targeting a meeting of Hamas leadership, who were gathered in Qatar to discuss a ceasefire proposal put forward by the Trump administration.

Israeli sources told multiple outlets—including CNN and Israel’s Channel 12 that the United States had prior knowledge of the planned attack.

More hamas are dead. Good job trump

Seems to be setting quite a precedent   bombing the negotiators while in the midst of negotiations  first the Iranians and now the Palestinians   seems like a strange strategy to me though. 

 

 

President Trump publicly stated that the decision to strike was Netanyahu’s alone, not his. 

 

“Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States... does not advance Israel or America’s goals” 

 

Well who to believe?

Believe Trump from the getgo. Saves having to eat crow when he is confirmed correct after the tears and venting are over.

 

The US and Qatar have a close partnership, the US has a base there for example. The US isn’t going to jeopardise that by approving of an airstrike without their approval (likely pressured approval).

They were absolutely warned in advance, and in my opinion - I don’t think they care to get rid of that liability. Harbouring Hamas terrorists has done damage to their reputation and Hamas are done for, Qatar has no use for them. This allows them to sweep them under the rug and be done with them.

Less than 24 hours ago Qatar put a statement telling Hamas to accept Trump’s deal. Which was unusual for them. Hamas didn’t. This is the result they likely knew about.

In my opinion, anyway.

Who wrote that for you?

Could it possibly be about who’s pumping s**t loads of money into the Trump Organisation, a good look at those sitting in the front row at the opening ceremonies of some of Trumps mega projects might explain why a blind eye is being turned to the Middle East.

"How quickly do you Germans forget?" asks one Qatari government official in Doha. Clearly irked, the man, in his 40s, is sitting in his office on the 34th floor of one of the Qatari capital’s glassed-in skyscrapers. In 2011, then United States President Barack Obama personally requested that the Emir of Qatar take the leadership of Hamas into his country.

At the time, Washington was seeking to establish a communications channel to the Iranian-backed terrorist group. The Americans believed that a Hamas office in Doha would be easier to access than a Hamas bureau in Tehran. Since then, Hamas chief Haniyeh has been living on the Arabian Peninsula, and with him are several veterans of the terrorist organization, including prominent Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal.
