Netanyahu accepts responsibility for attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar; Rubio and US pledge support.
In a major international development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally taken “full responsibility” for an attack on Hamas leaders operating in Doha, Qatar. Speaking at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Netanyahu indicated that while Israel accepts responsibility, the operation followed intelligence assessments and demanded further confirmation.
Rubio’s presence in Israel amid this announcement underlines the strong support Washington continues to offer. Netanyahu said Rubio’s visit signals that “America stands with Israel in face of terror.” Meanwhile, Rubio promised the US would back Israel’s efforts in Gaza, arguing that a better future for the people living there hinges on the removal of Hamas. As he put it, “You can count on our unwavering support and commitment to see [this] come to fruition.”
Qatar, from which Hamas leaders reportedly operated, has voiced concern over Israel’s strike. The diplomatic tensions occasioned by the attack aren’t just bilateral they resonate across the Middle East, where many nations watch carefully for any shifts in posture, alliances, or escalation.
For Israel, this public admission is significant. Taking full responsibility may be meant to settle international debates about accountability and set a narrative that frames the action as deliberate rather than accidental. For the US, reaffirming support underscores its resolve to defend its strategic partner while navigating increasingly complex regional dynamics. As this story develops, key questions remain: What does this mean for Qatar-Israel relations? How will regional actors respond? And what are the implications for civilians in Gaza and larger efforts toward peace or further conflict?0
