Qatar has informed the United States that it will expel the Hamas leadership from its territory
By Bernie,
Qatar has informed the United States that it will expel the Hamas leadership from its territory after the group refused to condemn Iranian attacks on the Gulf state according to reports. Qatar had pressured Hamas officials to publicly distance themselves from Iran's actions, but they declined.
The move marks a dramatic rupture between Qatar and Hamas, which has maintained its political bureau in Doha for years. Qatar has come under sustained Iranian attack since the start of the conflict, including missile and drone strikes on its territory, and shot down two Iranian fighter jets earlier in the war. The expulsion, if carried out, would strip Hamas of one of its last remaining international diplomatic platforms.
