Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani says in an interview with CNN that there will be a response that is under discussion with regional partners to Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Doha yesterday.
Plans are ongoing for a summit to be held in Doha in the near future around these discussions, he says, without giving a specific date.
He says Qatar is reassessing “everything” about its role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas for a Gaza ceasefire, as well as the Palestinian terror group’s future in Qatar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called on Doha to either expel Hamas leaders or bring them to justice.
Al-Thani accuses Netanyahu of dragging the Middle East to “chaos” and of “wasting” Qatar’s time, indicating he believes Israel hasn’t been genuinely negotiating.
He says Qatari officials were hurt in Israel’s strike and are in critical condition, cautioning that the Gulf region is at risk.
