Qatar condemns Israeli PM's remarks on expelling Hamas negotiators

Qatar condemned remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to expel Hamas members from its territory. Netanyahu had warned Qatar to either expel the officials or “bring them to justice,” implying Israel would act if they did not. Qatar's foreign ministry called the statements a shameful attempt to justify attacks on its territory and a threat to its sovereignty. The ministry asserted that hosting the Hamas office was part of mediation efforts requested by the United States and Israel, which has been crucial for facilitating ceasefires and exchanges.
