No Boundaries? Israel’s strike on Hamas in Qatar

Israel's September 9th strike on Hamas leaders in Doha has raised urgent questions about whether any red lines exist anymore. For the first time, Qatar, a major non-NATO ally to the US, host to Hamas’ political office and a key mediator in ceasefire talks, was directly targeted. What does this mean for Qatar’s security, its relationship with Washington, and the fragile regional balance moving forward?

To unpack this unprecedented event, Jasmine sat down with Nawaf Al-Thani, a retired general from the Qatari Armed Forces and former defense attaché at the Qatari Embassy in Washington, DC. They discussed how the attack resonated in Qatar, what it signals for Doha’s role as a mediator, and what broader implications it holds for U.S. policy and regional security moving forward.

This week, the view is from Doha.
