Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, vowed that if Hamas leaders survived Tuesday’s airstrike in Qatar, the country would succeed in targeting them next time. The strike, aimed at Hamas political leaders in Doha, escalated tensions amid ongoing Gaza conflict and drew criticism from the U.S., which called it a unilateral move harming peace efforts. Leiter emphasized Israel’s determination to pursue and eliminate threats, stating, “We’re going to destroy those who will destroy us.” The attack followed a deadly Hamas shooting near Jerusalem that killed six people, marking a dangerous escalation in the region’s violence and complicating ceasefire negotiations.
