Israel Bombs Hamas in Qatar; US Calls Qatar 'BFF'
In a twist straight out of geopolitical slapstick, Israel launched airstrikes against top Hamas leaders reportedly holed up in Qatar amidst Gaza ceasefire talksâbecause whatâs diplomacy without drone lighting? Meanwhile, Trumpâs ex-press secretary solemnly declared these attacks 'do not advance US or Israeli goals' while soberly praising Qatar as 'a strong ally and friend.' Cue the awkward sibling rivalry. All this drama unfolds as 51 Israeli arms makers and Lockheed Martinâmasters behind the F-35 jets bombing Gazaâshowcase their wares at Londonâs DSEI arms bazaar starting September 9, 2025. Itâs a bizarre peaceful chaos cocktail with bombs and business shaking hands at the Docklands.
