On the diplomatic front, Arab leaders are holding an emergency meeting in Qatar today to discuss Israel’s deadly strike last week targeting Hamas leaders in Doha. Ahead of the meeting, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani condemned what he called Israel’s barbaric attack.

Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani: “This Israeli aggression will not lead to anything but aborting deescalating efforts, and confirm the Israeli government’s intentions to reject peaceful paths to resolving the Palestinian issue and to continue defying international will and the U.N. Charter, as evidenced by repeated statements by Israeli officials regarding the annexation of Palestinian territories and the illusions of a Greater Israel. … Israel’s barbaric and demagogic practices will not deter us from continuing our sincere efforts with the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United States to stop this unjust war.”

Al-Thani’s comment came a day after he met with President Trump in New York. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Israel for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Rubio will then travel to Doha.
