Sen. Steve Daines, is heading to Israel, and he says the country’s recent strike in Qatar was part of its “singular purpose” to eradicate Hamas. The Israel Defense Force (IDF) recently announced a strike on senior Hamas leadership, but instead of being in Gaza, the attack took place over 1,300 miles away in Doha, Qatar.
The Qatari government, a key player in ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, has condemned the attack as a “criminal attack” and a “flagrant violation of all international laws and norms”. According to Fox, Daines, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, isn’t having any of it. He compared Hamas to a “cancer” that needs to be eradicated.
