Hamas says its leadership survived Israeli strike on Qatar

The attack involved around 15 Israeli warplanes that fired at least ten munitions at a compound used by the Palestinian group

Palestinian militant group Hamas has claimed the Israeli attack on its compound in the Qatari capital of Doha on Tuesday was largely unsuccessful and that its top members survived.

However, the attack did kill the son of Khalil al-Hayya, the group’s political bureau head, as well as a senior aide, according to Suhail al-Hindi, a senior Hamas member. Three bodyguards of the group’s leader remain unaccounted for after the strikes, he told Al Jazeera.

“The blood of the leadership of the movement is like the blood of any Palestinian child,” al-Hindi stated.

The “heinous” Israeli attack was an “attempt to kill those discussing ending the war on Gaza,” he added, corroborating earlier reports that the group’s leadership was hit when it had gathered to discuss the latest US proposals on settling the conflict with Israel.

According to Israeli media reports, some 15 aircraft were involved in the attack, firing more than ten high-precision munitions into the Hamas compound. Israel has insisted the attack was a unilateral action and that no other party was involved in striking “the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization.”

Multiple Israeli media reports, however, suggested that West Jerusalem notified Washington of the impending action ahead of the strike. Moreover,Israeli Channel 12 reported, citing an unnamed official, that US President Donald Trump had given the green light for the attack. (Fuck Bibi and Israel)

The White House described the Israeli attack as an “unfortunate” incident, with spokeswoman Karoline Leavittstating the strike at the heart of Qatar, a “close ally” of the US, “does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”

Qatar, which is designated a “major non-NATO ally” of the US, hascondemned the “cowardly Israeli attack,” describing the location affected by the strike as “residential buildings housing several members of the political bureau of the Hamas movement.” The country’s Foreign Ministry has denied reports it had any prior knowledge of the attack, stating it received no notification either from Israel or US. (Qatar knows PDJT would never have given a go ahead on this.)

Later in the day, the Qatari Interior Ministry said at least one security officer had been killed and others injured while responding at the site of the attack.

(Bibi and Israel are trying their best to drag and blame President Trump into this stupid and vicious move of his. Bibi will never be trustworthy, because he won’t stop until he starts WWIII.)

Trump gives another ‘last warning’ to Hamas

The US president has urged the Palestinian militant group to accept a deal to release Israeli hostages in Gaza

US President Donald Trump has issued a “last warning” to Hamas, demanding the Palestinian militant group release Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

Trump warned of unspecified consequences if Hamas refuses to cooperate, in a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday.

“The Israelis have accepted my terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well. I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting. This is my last warning,” the US president said without providing further details.

Hours after Trump made the remarks, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened Hamas with annihilation and demanded the Palestinian militants lay down their arms.

“This is a final warning to the Hamas murderers and rapists in Gaza and in luxury hotels abroad: Release the hostages and put down your weapons – or Gaza will be destroyed and you will be annihilated,” Katz wrote on X.

Hamas has signaled readiness to “immediately sit at the negotiating table” after hearing what it described as “some ideas from the American side aimed at reaching a ceasefire agreement.”

The latest “last warning” echoed a threat made by Trump in March, when he urged Hamas to immediately release all the living hostages and turn over the bodies of the deceased or end up “dead.”

Hamas took around 250 people hostage during the October 7, 2023 surprise attack on southern Israel that left at least 1,200 people dead and prompted the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The group is believed to still hold in custody nearly 50 of them, with around half presumed to still be alive.

The conflict, which has dragged on for nearly two years, has taken a heavy toll on the Palestinian enclave, leaving at least 64,000 dead, according to the local health authorities. Israeli military ground operations and heavy artillery and aerial bombardment caused widespread destruction across Gaza and displaced most of its residents.

(I bet Trump gave that threat, without any real plan, and certainly without the knowledge of Israel planning on attacking and bombing Hamas in Qatar. When they read about Trump’s threat they put together a plan to attack the compound. Bibi set it up, so Trump is being accused of being responsible, when that was never the plan. It makes no sense and is stupid because Doha is very close to the US Military facility. Further it makes NO Sense why Trump would ever OK Qatar or DOHA being bombed. The Middle East Trip was ally building.)

Donetsk school named after Russian and American soldiers killed in Ukraine conflict

Ivan Kokovin and Michael Gloss, the latter the son of a senior CIA official, both died in Donbass in April 2024

School in Donetsk, Russia renamed in honor of Russian and American soldiers killed in combat.

A school in the Russian city of Donetsk has been named in honor of a Russian soldier and an American volunteer who died fighting together in Donbass.

The ceremony at School No. 115 in the capital of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) on Tuesday was attended by senior officials.

Russian paratrooper Ivan Kokovin and American fighter Michael Gloss, the son of CIA Deputy Director Juliane Gallina, both served in the 331st Guards Airborne Regiment.The two men were posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, a Russian state honor.

Kokovin and Gloss were reportedly killed on April 4, 2024, during an assault on fortified Ukrainian positions near Chasov Yar in Russia’s Donetsk Region. The critical high-ground and logistics hub was liberated by Russian forces in July this year.

DPR head Denis Pushilin said atthe ceremony on Tuesday that the naming was intended to ensure that the memory of the two men would live on. Russian Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov added that their example showed that “courage knows no nationality.”

A memorial plaque has been unveiled at the school, which now bears the names of the two men. Officials announced that a museum dedicated to their service will also be established within the school.

Gloss, who was 21, traveled to Russia in 2023 and enlisted under a different name. His father said earlier, citing his death certificate, thathe was killed while attempting to assist a wounded comrade under artillery fire.His remains were repatriated to the US last year and he was cremated in his hometown.

Last month, CNN reported thatRussian President Vladimir Putin personally handed US envoy Steve Witkoff Gloss’ posthumous Order of Courage, which he then delivered to Gloss’ mother. A CIA spokesperson told the outlet that the agency expressed condolences to Gallina and described the case as a private family matter.

Netherlands running out of space for Ukrainians

Dutch municipalities have said their shelters are full as arrivals continue

Ukrainian immigrants can no longer be housed in Dutch townships as shelters are at capacity and people are being turned away, according to the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG).

About 4.7 million people have fled Ukraine to other parts of Europe since the conflict between Moscow and Kiev escalated in February 2022. Around 120,000 have gone to the Netherlands, including men who have left the country to avoid mobilization.

According to the VNG, “almost” all of the 97,000 municipal shelter spaces in the Netherlands are occupied, while around 300 Ukrainians continue to arrive weekly in the country, the organization added.

Municipalities such as Utrecht and Dordrecht have reported that they are no longer able to provide housing to new arrivals. Local officials have pointed to shortages in housing and funding,and have called on the national government to provide a long-term plan.

Dutch officials have warned that without additional national support,municipalities will not be able to meet their legal housing obligations.

Proposals underdiscussion include requiring Ukrainians with jobs or sufficient income to contribute towards rent for their accommodation, though no final decision has been taken. (Why to hell didn’t that make them work from Day One, in every country they went to???)

Other Western European countries reportedly face similar difficulties.The UK, Ireland, Germany, and Finlandhave all taken steps in recent monthsto reduce financial support or benefits for Ukrainians, citing pressure on national budgets and housing supplies.

In Poland, anti-Ukrainian sentiment has reportedly been rising. Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said in March thatPoleswere increasinglyfrustrated over “hundreds of thousands, or maybe even over a million young Ukrainians driving the best cars around Europe and spending weekends in five-star hotels.”

Last month, Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a bill to prolong benefits for Ukrainians, arguing that the assistance system needs to be reworked.
