    The Spin

    Pro-Israel narrative

    This strike delivers long-overdue justice against those behind the Oct. 7 massacre and years of attacks on Israeli civilians. Hamas leaders cannot hide behind diplomatic immunity while planning terror from foreign headquarters. The precision operation shows Israel's resolve to hold perpetrators accountable, wherever they are.

    Pro-Palestine narrative

    Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Doha is a flagrantly criminal act, violating international law and humanitarian norms, even while the city hosts peace talks. It shows Israel’s intent to continue the bloodshed against Palestinians and constitutes a dangerous escalation enabled by the U.S. administration.
