Carney said Canada has supported Qatar's "highly constructive role" (since 2012) in attempts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza, which includes efforts to secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants for nearly two years.

The official presence of Hamas members in Qatar dates back to 2012, when the group opened an office in Doha. Qatari officials say the office was set up at the request of the United States, though that has not been publicly confirmed by U.S. officials.

Even before the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks, the Hamas office in Doha was involved in ceasefire negotiations around the group’s other conflicts with Israel and humanitarian aid coordination for Gaza.

It’s unclear how many Hamas members reside in Doha, but the Qatar office is a base for some of the group’s spokespeople, political officers and their families. Inside Qatar, Hamas members can move freely, meeting with journalists, officials and diplomats at restaurants, hotels and at the group’s offices, which are housed in several villas in and around Doha.

For Hamas, the offices in Doha also held a degree of symbolic power, according to Tamer Qarmout, an associate professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

“The mere Hamas presence in Qatar [is] based on the blessing of the United States; it’s a kind of back-channel with a superpower,” Qarmout said. “It’s partial legitimacy.”

Qarmout said it is unclear what the Hamas political office will do next, but he added that it is unlikely the group’s leadership will be able to find another country where they will be able to operate freely and securely as they did in Qatar.

What we're covering
• Israel is facing growing condemnation after it attacked Hamas leadership in the capital of Qatar, a US ally and key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks — putting hostage negotiations at risk.

• Hamas said the strike killed five members but failed to kill the targeted negotiating delegation, the target of the strikes. Doubts are now emerging about the success of the attack, according to two Israeli officials.

• US President Donald Trump has criticized the strike, saying that by the time his administration learned of the attack and told the Qataris, there was little he could do to stop it.

• The attack is the first publicly acknowledged strike on a Gulf state by Israel. Qatar’s prime minister was visibly angry and said his country’s tradition of diplomacy “won’t be deterred.”

No mater how you slice it, its an attack on Qatar.

Hamas is saying “five members” of what were killed? The Girl Guides? Jehovah’s Witnesses? Hair Club for Men?

Five members of what? Not-Hamas?
Now Hamas is distinguishing itself from civilians?

You dumb fuck. Hamas is the Govt. Al-Qassam is the military.

People who are in a Govt are not civilians?
Isn’t this the first time that Hamas, in this almost 2 year long goat rodeo, has admitted any members of Hamas have died, at all? If so, that’s interesting all by itself.

They are saying “five members” of Hamas died aren’t they?

First time? Have you looked? Were those 5 Govt lawyers or al-Qassam armed combatants?

Replace Muzzie with Jew in your head and ask yourself "Is it 1935 and am I in Berlin"?
I don't remember any suicide bombers or gang rapists in the German Ghettos of 1935. They also didn't have rockets or weren't being funded to teach hate and kill Jews, which the Palestinians do.
