Hamas confirms that Israel targeted its negotiators

Hamas official in the Gaza Strip told the French Agency that Israel targeted the negotiators of the movement at the time of meeting in Doha, Qatar.

Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman al -Thani met with Hamas negotiators yesterday. Her delegation then decided to meet again today to discuss the proposal, traveling from Turkey to Qatar where the raid took place, “ The official stressed.

“However, as has happened in the past, the Israelis undermined hopes for peace, further prolonging the war and complicating efforts to return hostages.”In a statement, the senior official of Qatar.
