On September 9th, Israel launched strikes in Qatar targeting senior Hamas leaders. While Israel did not confirm the success of the operation, the strikes ignited global concern and criticism. A subsequent Washington Post report revealed that Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, had refused to participate in the ground operation.
The report cited two Israeli officials, stating that Mossad chief David Barnea opposed the mission due to the potential damage to his agency's relationship with Qatar, which was engaged in mediating peace talks between Israel and Hamas.
This opposition highlights internal divisions within the Israeli government regarding the handling of the conflict. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) also reportedly opposed the strikes, suggesting a lack of consensus on the strategy employed.
