Qatar has informed Hamas officials residing in the country that they are no longer welcome and must immediately prepare to depart. This decision marks a significant shift in Qatar's policy towards Hamas, which has previously allowed the group's leadership to operate from Doha. The move comes amid allegations that Hamas leadership in Doha was aware of and involved in the October 7 attack, contrary to claims that the attack was orchestrated solely by Sinwar without their knowledge. Israeli outlet @kann_news reported on the development.
