Doha Bombing Stirs Disquiet in Washington

On Tuesday morning, the US military observed Israeli jets heading towards the Gulf. The US immediately sought clarification, but the missiles were already launched. The target was a meeting of Hamas leaders who were discussing a new peace proposal by President Trump. The White House believed that a formal response from Hamas would be received by the end of the week. However, the attack changed everything. Qatar, which has been acting as a mediator in the Israel-Hamas war, became a battlefield itself.
