Qatar’s PM warns of regional danger in first presser
Qatar’s prime minister has held the first official briefing about what happened, in which he called Israel’s attack “state terrorism” and said there is a rogue actor in the region – Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu – who is leading the region into chaos at an irreversible level …
He also talked about the timing of the attack… which coincided with a meeting of Hamas’s negotiating team discussing the US proposal for a deal to end the war on Gaza and reach a ceasefire deal, and said Israel had sabotaged that.
Sheikh Mohammed was asked if there was still room for diplomacy, and answered that after the attack, there was very little room left.
Commenting on the US’s role, whether the Israelis informed the Americans, the prime minister said American officials contacted Qatari officials 10 minutes after the attack …
He said the country was unable to thwart it because the drones were undetectable by the radar.
Iran calls on Muslim world ‘to act in unison’ against Israel
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reacted to the attack in Qatar, saying the “only way to decisively address the recklessness of the Israeli regime is for the Muslim world to act in unison.”
“Iran stands ready to deepen cooperation in the interest of confronting threats to international peace and security,” the foreign minister said on X.
Iran fought a 12-day conflict with Israel in June. Tehran’s relations with Gulf countries have been strained by geopolitical rivalries and ideological differences.
Israel has heinously done what Iran would never contemplate: attacking the dear People and Government of Qatar.

Israel’s attack in Qatar may bring war in Gaza to an end
The drone strikes targeting a Hamas delegation in Doha point to a premeditated attempt to derail negotiations and to make sure the ceasefire does not happen, Israeli former diplomat Alon Pinkas says.
The delegation was meeting in the Qatari capital to discuss a US proposal for a ceasefire deal. Instead of following Trump’s leadership, Netanyahu opted for striking the officials as they met with Qatari mediators.
“There is a breaking point even for Donald Trump,” Pinkas said, suggesting the US president may have run out of patience with the Israeli leader.
“Trump might pick up the phone and say: ‘Now I’ve had enough, I stood by you, I’ve supported you and risked political allies – enough is enough, you have 24-48 hours to end the war or there will be consequences’,” the analyst said.
“If he feels he’s being conned by Netanyahu, that could [bring about] the end of the war.”
