Israel launched a strike targeting Hamas' leadership in Qatar on Tuesday as they considered a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The strike on the territory of a U.S. ally marked a stunning escalation and risked upending talks aimed at winding down the war and freeing hostages.
On social media, Kansas U.S. Senator Roger Marshall criticized the Israeli action.
Marshall wrote. 'I fully agree with President Trump. At the request of the U.S. and Israel, Qatar is mediating a peace agreement. The Israeli attack on allied soil, where approximately 10,000 American troops are stationed, is highly ill-advised. Grateful that Secretary of State Rubio is finalizing a Defense Coordination Agreement with Qatar to prevent Israel from repeating this action."
