Israel's attempt to assassinate Hamas leaders in Qatar has backfired, angering Qatar and damaging Israel's international standing. The airstrike, aimed at achieving Netanyahu's 'total victory' goal, failed to kill the intended targets, and instead jeopardized ceasefire negotiations and further strained relations with the U.S. While the operation killed five low-level Hamas members and a Qatari guard, Hamas claims its leadership survived. Netanyahu remains resolute, facing no immediate threat to his rule despite widespread criticism and concerns over the remaining hostages.
