The United Nations Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency session in New York to address the latest Israeli airstrikes that targeted Hamas officials in the Qatari capital, Doha. The meeting, requested by Pakistan and Algeria, is expected to take place on Wednesday at 10:00 pm al-Quds time (7:00 pm GMT).

The South Korean mission, which holds the rotating presidency of the Council for September, confirmed that the session will focus on the broader “situation in the Middle East”, with specific attention to the Israeli attack on Qatari soil.

The joint request by Pakistan and Algeria reflects growing concern among Muslim-majority and Global South countries over the escalating pattern of aggression by "Israel" in the region. Both countries emphasized the urgent need for international accountability in light of "Israel's" violation of Qatar’s sovereignty.

'A treacherous assassination attempt'

The Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas strongly condemned, on Tuesday, the “treacherous assassination attempt” by the Israeli occupation targeting its negotiating delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha.

In an official statement, Hamas said, “The treacherous attempt by the Zionist occupation to assassinate the Hamas negotiating delegation in Doha today is a heinous crime, a blatant act of aggression, and a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.”

Hamas stressed that the attack was not only aimed at its delegation but also constituted an assault on Qatar itself. “This crime represented an aggression against the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, which, alongside sisterly Egypt, has played an important and responsible role in sponsoring mediation efforts to halt the aggression, reach a ceasefire agreement, and secure a prisoner exchange,” the movement said.

Hamas confirmed that its leadership, who were the target of the strike, survived the attack, though several members of its team and security staff were martyred. The statement identified those martyred as: Jihad Lubad, office director for senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, and al-Hayya’s son, Hammam. Three others, including Abdullah Abdel Wahed, Mo'men Hassouna, and Ahmad al-Mamlouk, were also martyred, along with Qatari security officer Badr Saad al-Humaidi.

Israeli entity, US undermining negotiations

The movement tied the attack directly to ongoing negotiations, “Targeting the negotiating delegation, at the very moment it was discussing the latest proposal of US President Donald Trump, confirms beyond any doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement. They are deliberately working to sabotage every opportunity and derail international efforts, regardless of the fate of their prisoners, state sovereignty, or regional security.”

Hamas also accused Washington of complicity: “We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime, given its constant support for aggression and the crimes of the occupation against our people.”

A coordinated attack

Israeli media revealed new details on the coordination between the Israeli occupation and the United States surrounding the strikes that were intended to target the Hamas leadership. 

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

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 have maintained 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.
