Part 4/15:
Qatar condemned the attack, with officials calling it a "cowardly" breach of international norms and vowing that they would not tolerate such reckless actions. The strike’s timing, closely following a proposed ceasefire by former U.S. President Donald Trump—who called for the release of all hostages—further complicates prospects for diplomacy. Israel publicly stated that the operation was entirely independent, initiated and executed by Israel without coordination with the United States, although reports indicate that the U.S. was informed in advance.
