Those responsible for orchestrating the attacks “are operating in plain sight and within reach in the hands of our purported major non-NATO ally Qatar,” said Mark Wallace, a former U.S. representative to the United Nations and head of the New York-based United Against Nuclear Iran. “We should not hesitate to act militarily on Qatari soil to bring to justice Ismail Haniyeh and Hamas leadership,” Wallace said. Frances Townsend, a top counterterror adviser to George W. Bush and head of the non-profit Counter Extremism Project, also joined the call for action.

In an interview with WELT, terrorism expert and Senior Director of the Counter Extremism Project Hans-Jakob Schindler warned that the second phase of the ceasefire in the Gaza war is the biggest hurdle. Without the planned Arab-led stabilization force to provide security, the power vacuum will – and already is – generate ISIS-style violence and humanitarian concerns. The situation presents risks of prolonged instability, civilian casualties, and potential exploitation by extremist elements, with implications for regional security and U.S. diplomatic initiatives.
