Short answer
Israel struck Hamas leaders in Qatar, the billionaire elite of terror who masterminded October 7 while living in 5-star hotels and flying private jets. For years, they oversaw the smuggling of Iranian weapons and the transformation of Gaza into a fortress of tunnels and bunkers — all while siphoning aid money to build their personal fortunes.
Since the horrors of Oct 7, from far away in the comfort of Doha, they stalled hostage talks, demanded to keep control of Gaza, and refused to disarm — proving they never intended to honor any deal that would prevent their jihad against Israel.
Shielded by Qatar’s velvet curtain, they directed war from abroad and believed themselves untouchable.
Israel’s strike made it clear: there’s no sanctuary for terrorists who hide in comfort while orchestrating massacres. Hiding won’t delay accountability or the demand to release Israeli hostages.
Long answer
Israel’s strike in Qatar on September 9, 2025 was about justice. It targeted the very leadership responsible for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust and for the ongoing campaign of violence against Israel, including the recent Hamas terrorist attack in Jerusalem that killed six and wounded many more. These Hamas leaders were not “political figures,” “moderates,” or “negotiators.” The supposed divide between Hamas’s “political” and “military” wings is a fiction. They are the command-and-control of a terrorist organization.
From their 5-star hotels in Doha, Hamas’s billionaire elites masterminded October 7, oversaw the smuggling of Iranian weapons, and turned Gaza into a fortress of tunnels and bunkers, all while siphoning aid money to build personal fortunes. Khaled Mashaal, for example, is often photographed in designer suits and is said to control investments worth hundreds of millions across the Middle East and Turkey. While Gazans endure food shortages, blackouts, and suffering in the war Hamas started, these men enjoy private jets, luxury estates, and obscene wealth, while plotting their next attacks against Israel.
This distance gave them a sense of immunity, shielded by Qatar’s velvet curtain. That security allowed them to drag out hostage talks, demanding to remain in control of Gaza and refusing to disarm, proving they never intended to honor any deal. Even after Donald Trump issued his “last warning” to Hamas to accept the deal already on the table, the leadership in Doha continued to stall, showing they valued prolonging the war more than the lives of their own civilians, whose deaths they openly welcomed as propaganda against Israel.
Israel’s strike made the lesson clear: terrorists who hide in luxury while fueling massacres will be hunted down, wherever they are. And those who provide them safe haven, like Qatar, cannot claim neutrality. By sheltering Hamas, Qatar shares responsibility for their crimes. And in the end, regimes that protect terrorists should not be surprised when they, too, are held to account.
