Netanyahu Warns Qatar After Doha Strike: “We Will Do It”

Israeli Warning to Qatar
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a warning to Qatar on Wednesday, one day after an Israeli strike in Doha targeted the residence of senior Hamas leaders.

In a video statement delivered in English, Netanyahu said:
“Either you expel the terrorists or bring them to justice. If you don’t, we will.”

Linking the Attack to September 11
Netanyahu referred to the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, saying:
“Tomorrow (Thursday) is September 11. We remember 9/11, when terrorists carried out the worst massacre on American soil since the founding of the United States. We have our own 9/11 — October 7 — when terrorists committed a massacre against the Jewish people.”

He added:
“What did America do after 9/11? It hunted down the terrorists wherever they were. And we are following the same approach in targeting those responsible for the October 7 attacks.”

Details of the Israeli Strike in Doha
The Israeli strike in Doha targeted Hamas leaders while they were meeting in a residential compound.

Netanyahu confirmed that the operation targeted “the masterminds of the terrorists” who committed the October 7 massacre, drawing a comparison to the U.S. operation against Osama bin Laden.

Results and Hamas Response
Israel has not yet released an official statement about the outcome of the strike. Meanwhile, Hamas confirmed that its targeted leaders survived, although five people were reported killed in the attack.
