US EditionLeading Hamas official makes first comments since Israeli attack in Qatar
Ghazi Hamad survived a targeted Israeli missile strike authorized by Donald Trump, which involved about 12 missiles fired within a minute during ceasefire talks, Hamas said.
- Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad appeared in an Al Jazeera interview for the first time since an Israeli strike targeted Hamas leaders in Doha last week.
- The strike occurred less than an hour after Hamas negotiators examined a US ceasefire proposal, causing the officials to quickly evacuate and stalling negotiations.
- Hamad described the strike's intensity as a barrage of about 12 missiles in less than a minute and confirmed the explosion was clearly Israeli shelling.
- Hamad said, "He doesn't scare us," rejecting Trump's threats and called for a united Arab position against Israel, saying "Israel has no red lines."
- Following the attack, fighting in Gaza continues with IDF ground operations underway as Netanyahu acknowledged diplomatic isolation affects Israel's arms imports, indicating prolonged conflict.
