An Israeli airstrike aimed at Hamas leaders in Doha has ignited regional tensions, prompting a wave of diplomatic engagements involving key Arab leaders. The attack, which followed a Hamas-claimed shooting in Jerusalem, has further complicated Gaza ceasefire talks and strained Israel's relations with global partners.
Diplomatic ripples were felt as United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan visited Qatar, while Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was expected to join discussions soon.
