Key Findings

• The Israeli military has confirmed that it targeted Hamas officials in Doha, Qatar.
• Since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, Israel has steadily broadened the scope of its targeting outside the Palestinian territories.
• Until now, Qatar has been offered some immunity to host internationally recognized terror groups due to its role as an intermediary in peace talks.
• Hamas representatives have conducted all negotiations abroad, and the targeting of its representatives during ceasefire discussions very likely reduces the possibility of a Gaza ceasefire or hostage release in the near-to-medium term.
• A military response from Qatar is very unlikely, but diplomatic blowback that further weakens ties between Israel and Middle Eastern states is likely.
