Thousands of protesters in Israeli-occupied Jerusalem are continuing their demonstration for early elections, now in its second day. They have gathered outside the Israeli parliament (Knesset), demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The protest, marked by Israeli flags and calls for political change, has also seen the installation of over 100 tents near the Knesset as demonstrators plan to continue their rally for four days.
Israeli media revealed that 10 warplanes carried out yesterday’s strike on Hamas officials in Doha, flying 1,800 kilometers through the airspace of Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. The jets fired 10 missiles at a building where Hamas leaders were meeting on a Gaza ceasefire, with the mission lasting 10 minutes and requiring mid-air refueling.
US President Donald Trump said he was informed of the operation but stressed it was Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision. Calling Qatar “a strong ally,” Trump warned the strike inside the Gulf state did not serve US or Israeli interests, though he said eliminating Hamas remained a “worthy objective.”
