Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Israel's military strike on Hamas headquarters in Qatar's Doha, drawing parallels to America's post 9/11 response. Netanyahu called October 7 Israel's "9/11 moment" and accused Qatar of harboring Hamas terrorists while providing them "sumptuous villas" and financing. He referenced US operations against Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and killing Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, stating "We did exactly what America did." Netanyahu urged nations harboring terrorists to "either expel them or bring them to justice" or face Israeli action. Qatar condemned the strike as "cowardly" and violating international law. The attack occurred as Hamas leaders gathered to consider a US ceasefire proposal, marking significant escalation.
