Leaders from across the Middle East are gathering in the Qatari capital to discuss a coordinated response to Israel's recent strikes on Doha, Al Jazeera reported. The attacks, which Israel said targeted Hamas leadership, have sparked concerns across the region and beyond.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is traveling to Israel to discuss the future of Gaza following Israel's controversial strike on Hamas operatives in Qatar, an action that has complicated ceasefire negotiations. Despite President Trump's disapproval of the strike, the U.S. aims to reaffirm its support for Israel amidst growing international condemnation and tensions with key Middle East allies.

Rubio's agenda, according to the State Department, will centre on Israel's "goals and objectives" for the Gaza City offensive. While Trump has not opposed the operation outright, analysts believe Rubio may push for it to be swift, opening the door to political negotiations that Trump hopes will bolster his legacy as a peace broker.
