Israel attacks Hamas (and they thought they were safe in Qatar)

“Straight Up” with Danny Seaman

In one of the most audacious Israeli military operations in years, top Hamas commanders were eliminated in a precision strike deep in the heart of Qatar, 1,800 kilometers from the State of Israel. Host Danny Seaman, former senior official at the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, unpacks the dramatic events unfolding in Doha and their implications for the future of the Middle East.

Seaman reveals the confirmed deaths of senior Hamas operatives, including Khalil al-Khayeh, head of Hamas in Gaza, and Zahir Jabarin, commander in Judea and Samaria, who were reportedly meeting to discuss a U.S.-backed hostage deal when Israeli aircraft struck. Also in the meeting were Khaled Mashaal, Musa Abu Marzouk and other notorious Hamas leaders, now presumed dead.

The strike marks a significant escalation in Israel’s strategy to hold Hamas leadership accountable, no matter where they hide.

This episode connects the dots between military strategy, regional politics and the war’s moral clarity, reminding viewers why Israel will no longer accept victimhood in the face of genocidal threats.

In a break with longstanding practice, the New York City mayor does not plan to join the parade this year.
The legislation, which aims to shield educational institutions from disruptive protests, passed the council in March without a veto-proof majority.
“We have to stop the defense,” the Florida congressman said. “You’re not going to mess with us.”
“The whole world has seen Iran was building up a conventional capability where they would have so many missiles and so many drones that they could overwhelm anybody’s defenses,” the U.S. secretary of state said.
“We degraded Iran’s ability to project power outside its borders and threaten the region and threaten our interests,” Adm. Brad Cooper stated.
The City Hall rep told JNS that the New York City mayor decries “displays of support for terrorist organizations.”
