Israel just exposed Qatar’s infiltration in the West

WATCH: “True East” with Doron Spielman, Ep. 20

Israel just did the unthinkable—striking Hamas leadership hiding in Qatar. What does this bold move mean for Israeli deterrence, U.S. foreign policy and the global war on terror?

In this episode, IDF Spokesperson (Res.) Doron Spielman unpacks Israel’s pinpoint operation in Doha, exposing Qatar’s double game: hosting a massive U.S. military base while funding and sheltering Hamas, Hezbollah and even past masterminds of 9/11.

He connects Qatar’s alliance with Iran, its deep ties to U.S. defense and diplomacy, and its role as “mediator” in hostage talks, all while openly harboring terrorists.

Spielman also breaks down:

  • The international fallout, including condemnations from British PM Keir Starmer, French PM Emmanuel Macron and the United Nations
  • The Trump doctrine on military deterrence and how it contrasts with current U.S. responses
  • How Russia, China and Iran are watching closely for signs of weakness
  • The moral clarity behind Israel’s decision to assert global deterrence
  • Why terrorists fear Israel more than any other country

Watch to understand how one strike in Qatar may reshape Middle East geopolitics, U.S. alliances and the future of global counter-terrorism.

Doron Spielman is a New York Times bestselling author of When the Stones Speak and a Major in the IDF Reserves, where he serves as an international military spokesman. He is also the founder and CEO of Spielman Dynamics and was Vice President of the City of David Foundation. Spielman is a Senior Fellow at the Herut Center and hosts “True East” on JNS TV.
“Let me be clear,” Rep. Grace Meng said at a rally in New York City. “Justifying hate, vandalism or violence by pointing to the actions of a foreign government is scapegoating, and it is wrong.”
A deadline in the law has yet to pass, but Rabbi Josh Joseph, of the Orthodox Union, told JNS that “we expect the mayor and the NYPD to work in close coordination with the community to ensure that the intent of this legislation is fully upheld.”
Online critics accused the bestselling author, who is a supporter of the BDS movement, of “normalizing” Israelis over a brief reference in her book, Taipei Story.
The president’s call for a national Shabbat “celebrates our religion and it refocuses on our job to become a light unto the nations,” Rabbi Steven Burg of Aish told JNS.
Moments after Varsha Gandikota-Nellutla, of the Hague Group, made the admission, Andrew Gilmour, a former senior U.N. official, warned her that “there are 108 people on this call, so just assume it’s not confidential.”
Charlotte Head, 30, Samuel Corner, 23, Leona Kamio, 30, and Fatema Rajwani, 21, destroyed property and clashed with security guards at the Israeli defense firm’s facility near Bristol, England.
