In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Important Statement

The treacherous attempt by the Zionist occupation to assassinate the Hamas negotiating delegation in the Qatari capital, Doha, today is a heinous crime, a blatant aggression, and a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws.

This crime constitutes an attack on the sovereignty of the sisterly State of Qatar, which, along with sisterly Egypt, plays an important and responsible role in sponsoring mediation and efforts aimed at halting the aggression and reaching a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement. This once again reveals the criminal nature of the occupation and its desire to undermine any chances of reaching an agreement.

We confirm the enemy's failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation. Meanwhile, a number of our martyred brothers have ascended to the highest ranks of glory, including:
• Martyr Jihad Labad (Abu Bilal) – Director of Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya's Office
• Martyr Humam Al-Hayya (Abu Yahya) – Son of Dr. Khalil Al-Hayya
• Martyr Abdullah Abdul Wahid (Abu Khalil) – Companion
• Martyr Moamen Hassouna (Abu Omar) – Companion
• Martyr Ahmed Al-Mamluk (Abu Malik) – Companion

We also mourn the martyr Corporal Badr Saad Mohammed Al-Humaidi, a member of the Qatari Internal Security Forces (Lekhwiya).

We ask God to have mercy on them and to grant them eternal peace in Paradise.

Targeting the negotiating delegation, as they discussed US President Donald Trump's latest proposal, confirms beyond doubt that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement and are deliberately seeking to thwart all opportunities and thwart international efforts, disregarding the lives of their prisoners held by the resistance, the sovereignty of states, or the security and stability of the region.

We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime, due to its ongoing support for the aggression and crimes of the occupation against our people.

This crime has proven that the Zionist occupation is an imminent threat to the region and the world, and that Netanyahu is attempting to erase our national cause and the rights of our people, pushing them toward forced displacement, continuing with his criminal plans for genocide, ethnic cleansing, starvation, and displacement.

We, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), call on the nations of the world, the United Nations, and all living forces and free people of conscience to condemn this criminal aggression against the sisterly State of Qatar and to take urgent action to pressure the occupation to halt its war of genocide and ethnic cleansing, achieve justice for our Palestinian people, and support their legitimate right to freedom and self-determination.

This cowardly assassination attempt will not change our clear positions and demands, which include: an immediate cessation of aggression against our people, a complete withdrawal of the occupation army from the Gaza Strip, a genuine prisoner exchange, and relief and reconstruction for our people.

We affirm that these terrorist crimes will not weaken the resolve of our movement and our leadership, nor will they deter us from adhering to our people's national rights and from continuing the path of resistance until the occupation ends and our independent Palestinian state is established with Jerusalem as its capital.

You can't negotiate peace with someone who came to kill you.

The American president emphasized that the State of Qatar is a strategic ally, calling on the Emir of the country to continue mediation efforts, in a phone call with Trump.

Today's attack is a message to the region saying that there is a rogue player in the region and political recklessness.

Betrayal is natural in a person like Netanyahu.
