Israel's failed attempt to kill Hamas' political leadership in unprecedented air strikes on Qatari capital Doha will further complicate the Gaza negotiations.

Qatari foreign ministry says summit reflects solidarity with Qatar following 'cowardly aggression'; Egypt reportedly looking to revive plans for NATO-style alliance of Arab states The post Arab, Muslim leaders to meet Monday in Qatar to denounce Israel’s Doha strike appeared first on The Times of Israel.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will travel to Israel in the coming days amid dwindling prospects for a Gaza ceasefire and disapproval from President Donald Trump over Israel’s “unilateral” strike on Doha less than a week ago.

The reverberations of Israel’s strike on the Hamas negotiating team in Doha yesterday are still rippling across the globe and will continue to for the foreseeable future. Its ramifications are profound and will alter the geopolitical landscape not just in the Middle East but likely on a global scale.

Following his stop in Israel, Rubio will travel to London to join Trump for the President’s second state visit to the U.K. He plans to meet with Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to discuss U.S.-U.K. cooperation on global challenges, including the war in Ukraine, Iran’s nuclear program, hostage negotiations in Gaza and competition with China.

Strike targeting Hamas leadership certainly doesn’t bring the longest war in Israel’s history any closer to an end

The organizers’ move became public a day after a Israel carried out an air strike targeting Hamas negotiators in a attack in Doha on Tuesday.

In the past, Israel has provided the U.S. with limited advance notice ahead of military attacks, but the decision to strike typically follows more extensive conversations. Tuesday's action caught large swaths of the administration wholly off-guard, sources familiar with the matter say.
