EMET is profoundly grateful to the state of Israel for eliminating the masterminds of Hamas, who had perpetuated the worst attack on the citizens of Israel and the Jewish people since the dark days of the Holocaust on October 7, 2023, leading to the death of 1200 citizens and the taking of 251 hostages.
This is the first time an offensive operation has been conducted in Qatar.
Israeli Air Force pilots launched an unprecedented attack, utilizing precision bombs against the leadership of Hamas who had been living in luxurious accommodations and offered safe sanctuary in Doha, Qatar. President Trump was notified ahead of the attack and his Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “eliminating Hamas, which has enriched itself on the suffering of Gaza residents, is a worthy goal”.
The leaders of Hamas had been gathered in Doha to discuss President Trump’s most recent peace proposal. The decision to launch this strike was after Hamas murdered six people in Ramot, Israel, yesterday.
As Prime Minister Netanyahu has stated, “The war in Gaza can end immediately because we have already taken action…. We accepted the principles set by President Trump to end the war, which include immediate release of all our hostages and the other principles for ending the war that Israel has established.”
Sarah N Stern is Founder and President of the Endowment for Middle East Truth.
