Israeli Doha strike tests Gulf stability
The Doha strike marks the first time Israel has carried out an attack on Qatari soil. Qatar is known for its role in hosting Hamas’ political leadership and association with Muslim Brotherhood figures, positions that have enhanced Doha’s role as a facilitator of regional mediation.
