Hamas said in an official statement that al-Hayya 'led the funeral prayer for his martyred son and for the victims of the treacherous assassination attempt in Doha'

During a 15 June 2025 news broadcast, a presenter referred to Hamas as "the terror group," leading to complaints from viewers.

Hamas accused the United States on Thursday of complicity in Israel’s deadly attack on its negotiators in Qatar, lambasting Israel for seeking to kill off Gaza truce talks as Doha buried the dead. Tuesday’s unprecedented Israeli strikes on a Gulf state sent shockwaves through a region long shielded from conflicts and halted already floundering Gaza talks. “This crime was … an assassination of the entire negotiation process and a deliberate targeting of the role of our mediating brothers in Qatar and Egypt,” Hamas official Fawzi Barhoum said in a televised statement. In Doha, tight security surrounded the mosque where prayers were held as the Gulf state’s ruler joined mourners. One coffin bearing a Qatari flag and five others bearing Palestinian flags were brought into the mosque, live footage from Qatar television showed. Facing the coffins, Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, prayed alongside dozens of mourners, some wearing traditional white robes, others wearing military uniforms. The interior m...

Arab media outlets reported that Hamas leaders have reached a consensus to continue negotiations until the war ends and Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza, while Egypt is also working to revive the talks and provide protection to Palestinian faction leaders on its soil

Both the Qataris and Washington likely knew about the attack on Hamas leaders in Doha in advance, despite what Israel is saying ■ While Israeli stock markets applauded the move, it remains to be seen whether this strike will change the rules of the game

The Wall Street Journal said Egyptian and Turkish officials urged Hamas leaders in Qatar to boost security, as Israel spent months preparing the strike

Even though the strike against Hamas leaders will come at a heavy and long-term price as far as Qatar is concerned, it appears that a hostage deal is still on the table. Optimists in the government believe the Israeli prime minister will now have room for maneuver to end the war, but, as usual, it is not clear whether he believes what he says – is trying simply trying to avoid a bloody and useless operation

Qatar blijft ondanks de Israëlische aanval bemiddelen tussen Israël en Hamas voor een staakt-het-vuren in Gaza. Eerder waren er nog signalen dat Qatar zich tijdelijk zou terugtrekken. Israël voerde dinsdag een bombardement uit op de onderhandelingsdelegatie van Hamas in Doha.

Israel launched a strike targeting Hamas’ leadership in Qatar’s capital Tuesday as they considered a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Khalil Al-Hayya, a senior Hamas official targeted by Israel in Qatar on Tuesday, has become an increasingly central figure in the leadership of the Palestinian group since both Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar were killed last year. Israeli officials told Reuters the attack was aimed at top Hamas leaders, including Hayya, its exiled Gaza chief and top negotiator. Two Hamas sources told Reuters the group’s ceasefire negotiation delegation in Doha survived the attack. At the heart of ceasefire negotiations during the fighting that erupted two years ago, Hayya has been widely seen as the group’s most influential figure abroad since Haniyeh was killed by Israel in Iran in July 2024. He is part of a five-man leadership council that has led Hamas since Sinwar was killed by Israel last October in Gaza. Hailing from the Gaza Strip, Hayya has lost several close relatives, including his eldest son, to Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, and is a veteran member of the group. Regarded as having good ties with Iran, he has ...

Israel launched an airstrike against Hamas leaders in Qatar on Tuesday, expanding military actions that have ranged across the Middle East to include the Gulf Arab state where the Palestinian group has long had its political base. Qatar, which has acted as a mediator alongside Egypt in talks on a ceasefire in the almost two-year-old conflict in Gaza, condemned the attack as “cowardly” and called it a flagrant violation of international law. Two Hamas sources told Reuters that Hamas officials in the ceasefire negotiating team survived the attack, which followed an evacuation order in Gaza City, where Israel is waging an offensive to try to destroy the group and its military capabilities in the Gaza Strip. A senior Hamas source told Al Jazeera that leaders of the group were targeted while discussing United States President Donald Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. “The IDF (Israeli military) and ISA (security agency) conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organi...

Qatari sources say the Israeli strike targeted Hamas leaders during talks on a U.S. proposal to end Gaza war ■ Hamas denied that any senior leaders were killed, saying five members of negotiating team were killed ■ Report: Qatar suspends Gaza cease-fire negotiations in Doha ■ Netanyahu: 'Action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation'

Basem Naim, a member of the Hamas politburo, said that 'the main aim of the U.S proposal is to get it rejected – not to bring us closer to a deal to end the war.' A foreign source involved in the talks said Hamas was 'shocked' by what it described as 'an Israeli proposal written by Dermer'

President Donald Trump heeft wat hij noemt ‘een laatste waarschuwing’ gegeven aan het adres van de Palestijnse beweging Hamas. Hij zegt dat de beweging een deal moet accepteren en de gijzelaars in de Gazastrook moet vrijlaten.Volg alle ontwikkelingen over het Midden-Oosten in ons liveblog.
