A furious Qatar has accused Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a “narcissistic saboteur-in-chief” determined to wreck the chances of peace in the Middle East, after Israel bombed the Qatari capital on Tuesday.
In blistering comments made to The Independent, Dr Majed al-Ansari, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson and adviser to the country’s prime minister, said Israel had attacked central Doha while Hamas negotiators were discussing a US-proposed truce deal, putting a “target on the back” of any country attempting to mediate peace.
