Israeli media revealed new details on the coordination between the Israeli occupation and the United States surrounding the recent strikes on the Qatari capital, Doha, which targeted Hamas leadership. 

Channel 13 cited a senior Israeli official as saying that the attack was coordinated with Washington. The report highlights the extent of joint planning between the two allies in the lead-up to the operation. 

Multiple meetings, daily communications

According to Channel 14’s correspondent, coordination included at least two key meetings in recent days. The first involved US Central Command chief Gen. Brad Cooper, who recently arrived in the occupied Palestinian territories and held his first meeting with Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. 

The two are said to maintain daily communications, sometimes more than once per day, focusing heavily on military coordination tied to the operation. 

A second meeting reportedly took place within the last 24 hours between Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and US envoy Steve Witkoff, further underlining the high-level engagement between the two sides.

Trump’s role in final buildup

The Channel 14 report added that the scenario unfolding over the past days was deliberately built toward the “climax” seen in the latest strikes. US President Donald Trump, the correspondent said, sought to directly position himself as responsible for the negotiation track, promoting a plan he presented just 48 hours earlier.

Trump’s public statements, through both social media and press appearances, framed the plan as Hamas’ “last chance,” adding warnings from Israeli military and political leaders that Hamas’ external leadership would “pay a price.”

According to the report, these remarks, alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s and Security Minister Israel Katz's declarations, converged into the moment of escalation witnessed in Doha.

Hamas delegation survives Israeli attack

In a statement, the Israeli occupation military, in coordination with its internal security agency, Shin Bet, announced that it carried out an airstrike on the Qatari capital, Doha, claiming to target the senior leadership of the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas.

Israeli Channel 12, citing military sources, reported that the strikes targeted members of the Hamas negotiating delegation while they were discussing the latest US-mediated proposal in Doha.

However, a senior Hamas source told Al Mayadeen that the movement’s negotiating delegation survived the Israeli assassination attempt in Doha. 

Reuters correspondents confirmed hearing loud explosions in the Qatari capital, noting plumes of smoke rising over the Katara district.

This brazen Israeli strike on Hamas’ negotiating delegation in Doha exposes once again the pattern of aggression that has defined Israeli and American conduct, using violence at the very moment when talks for peace are on the table. Just as Washington and Tel Aviv undermined dialogue before they attacked Iran in June, they now repeat the same tactic against the Palestinian Resistance, targeting representatives engaged in negotiations.

Far from seeking peace, such actions demonstrate a deliberate sabotage of negotiations and reveal that only Palestinians show a genuine commitment to ending the war, while the Israeli occupation regime and the US weaponize diplomacy as cover for escalation.
