09.09.2025 โข The day Israel struck Hamas leadership in Qatar
โจUK media began the day with continued focus on the Epstein 'birthday book' release, including alleged notes involving Donald Trump, Peter Mandelson, and emerging connections to Prince Andrew. Concurrently, reports covered Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla reportedly set on fire and new NHS league tables detailing hospital performance.
By early afternoon, editorial attention shifted dramatically as Israel launched airstrikes in Qatar, reportedly targeting senior Hamas leaders in Doha. This development quickly dominated headlines. Qatar condemned the strikes, which Netanyahu justified as a response to a Jerusalem shooting. Hamas claimed its negotiating leadership survived, though six deaths were confirmed.
The White House indicated it was blindsided by the strike, which President Trump reportedly criticized as hindering peace efforts. Houthis later responded with a missile strike on Israel, further escalating tensions. Domestically, the race for Labour's deputy leader continued amidst party disillusionment.
