Israel Opts Out of Peace Talks with Hamas
Israeli strike targets Hamas leadership in Qatar
Israeli PM Netanyahu announces strike against “top terrorist chieftains of Hamas”
By Greg Norman, Trey Yingst
Israel’s military targeted senior Hamas leadership in Qatar with an airstrike on Tuesday.
“The IDF and ISA [Shin Bet] conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
Khalil al-Hayya and Zaher Jabarin were the two targets of the Israeli strikes, Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said Tuesday, citing initial reports. Israeli officials told Fox News Digital that the U.S. was informed in advance of the strikes.
“For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization’s operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel. Prior to the strike, measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and additional intelligence,” the IDF added.
“The IDF and ISA will continue to operate with determination in order to defeat the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for the October 7 massacre,” it also said.
Hamas had just responded to Trumps’ hostage “Final Warning” ultimatum with, while it “welcomed any initiative that contributes to efforts to halt the aggression against our people,” it reiterated previous conditions: a clear declaration ending the war, full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian committee to govern the enclave.
Seems Israel has tired of the Kabuki theater in Doha.

“Aggression” or “response to aggression”? Someone help me out here, I’m having trouble keeping up.
Hamas needs to be told, You are here:
As we learned from Ah-nold in the movie Twins, one must follow the three rules of a crisis situation.
How do you negotiate with people who want you dead?
The Art of the Boom!
It’s also hard to deal with peeps that want to die so they can meet their 72 virgins . Great if the virgins were transgender
They’re other jihadists.
Those virgins are 95 years old.
One does not simply negotiate with a group that wants to place your country under Islamic control and eradicate your people. One kills them.
Kill them first.
Negotiations concluded.
Party time!

nice smile,
I wish I could leave a better response, but I have to go return some videotapes.
The Art of the Deal when interacting with those who want you dead consists of killing them.
Plain and simple.
We’ll talk peace when you are in pieces, raghead.
In other news, two Presidential Suites at Qatar’s finest hotel are now available for the rest of the week.
Just surprised it took this long. Hack was expecting Mossad to slip a few of their crew into Qatar with a few drones. Do a bit of surveillance on the targets, and when they open their curtains of their 5 star suites to gaze upon the Doha nightlife, boom goes the dynamite.
I saw it was IDF aircraft, so with Al Udeid AB nearby there is no way the US/Qatari forces were not aware of the incoming strike.
Not if James Earl Jones was there to turn off the radar screen briefly and then leave with a flippant; “I was never here”.
The last time I saw a cat was last December walking on the beach and knew Christmas was right around the corner. Of course everyone has heard of Sandy Claws.. Now that’s the cats Meow.
Took the grandnephews to the shore (Frantic City) back in July. Told the younger to inform his classmates that he had a girlfriend at the Jersey Shore. If they ask for her name, it was Sandy.
Why would you negotiate with terrorists?

Multipass!
Am I surprised? Nope. Am I surprised the did it overtly in the sovereign territory of a US ally? Yeah. Kinda like flipping a political middle finger.
A better use for jet fuel and explosives would be hard to find.
Seems to me that there shouldn’t be any country out there outside of perhaps iran (for obvious reasons) that would allow any hamas people inside their kingdom. Why the rest of the world doesn’t realize that they exist only to be a terrorist organization and the genocide of the Jews is beyond me. They should be told, to stay in gaza and accept the consequences of their actions.
Well…. Bye!
