Israel continues the operation in Gaza City, pushing tens of thousands of inhabitants a day to escape from the main city of the strip to the south: according to the army estimates, it would already be 280 thousand those evacuated so far. Premier Benyamin Netanyahu, at the end of the Shabbat, intervenes a post on X in English suggesting that Tuesday’s raid in Doha to eliminate Hamas’s leadership did not go as he hoped.

«The terrorist leaders of Hamas who live in Qatar don’t care about the people of Gaza. They hindered all attempts to cease fire to drag the war to infinity. Getting rid of them would eliminate the main obstacle to the release of all the hostages and at the end of the war, “he wrote, using the conditional. And while the Qatarina leadership prepares the summit of the Arab countries to put a common condemnation of the Israeli attack on Doha black on white, the United States reassure the Qatar of their alliance.

On Friday, the US president hosted the Premier Qatarino Mohammed bin Abdulhman al-Thani for a dinner at the Trump Tower in New York. “Excellent dinner with the President of the United States,” said the deputy head of the Hamad al-Mufth staff on X. Mission in America developed precisely to tackle the theme of the relationship between the two allies after the 12 missiles launched by Tsahal on the building where Hamas’s leadership had gathered which has lived in Doha’s luxurious hospitality for years.

During the meeting, which was also attended by the US correspondent Steve Witkoff, the question of the Israeli Raid would have been addressed, the agreement of ceased the fire in Gaza and the agreement on the strategic defense between Washington and Doha.

In Washington Al-Thani also met vice-president JD Vance and the secretary of state Marco Rubio. The latter expected in Israel in the next few hours where a visit to the wall of crying together with Netanyahu is already scheduled. The visit, the commentators have been underlined for days, is understood as strong support from the American ally in view of the declaration of a state of Palestine at the UN. Rubio, before embarking on Tel Aviv, reiterated that the United States “are not happy” of the Israeli air attacks against Hamas leaders in Qatar, but that this will not change the status of the Washington alliance with Israel. Sources very close to Hamas have made it known that the organizational leader of the organization and higher capable in the leadership, Khalil Al-Hayya, the main objective of Raid, was “injured in the Israeli attack”.

But the severity of his condition has not been communicated. Meanwhile, while the diplomacies work hard to their protocols, the last ‘skyscraper of the terrorè was knocked down on Saturday with two precision missiles: the Burj al-Nur tower near the curtains of the displaced people of Gaza City fled in front of the residents who resumed the scene from a short distance. The Israeli army warned the population only shortly before with an Arab message on social media, indicating to move away urgently and head to the south, towards the humanitarian area of ​​Al Mawasi. Where, according to the estimates, they have already moved to 280 thousand, out of about one million, perhaps 800 thousand, people in the area of ​​the city of Gaza. The Palestine Football Association made the death, in an Israeli raid on Friday, of the young Mohammed Ramez Al-Sultan, player of the Al-Hilal Sports Club, who was killed together with 14 members of his family.
