&imwidth=800&imheight=600&format=webp&quality=medium "'When bin Laden was eliminated in Pakistan...': Israel compares Al-Qaeda episode with Doha attack on Hamas leadership")
Israel defended its fatal attack on Doha targeting Hamas leadership by comparing the incident with Osama bin Laden's killing. During a heated exchange at the UN Security Council, Israel’s UN envoy Danny Danon accused Pakistan of having a "double standard". He said, “When bin Laden was eliminated in Pakistan, the question was not ‘why target a terrorist on foreign soil?’ The question was, ‘why was a terrorist given shelter at all?’" Danon said this while directly addressing Pakistan’s representative Asim Iftikhar Ahmad.
“There was no immunity for bin Laden, and there can be no immunity for Hamas," the Israeli representative said.
"Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, and no one condemned the US. When other countries in this Council attack terrorists, no one condemns them. But when Israel acts, you apply different standards," he said.
Israeli Defence Force (IDF) launched a targeted airstrike on Doha, Qatar, claiming that it was against "the top leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization."
"The IDF and Shin Bet, through the Air Force, conducted a targeted strike a short while ago against the top leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization. The leadership members who were attacked had led the terrorist organization's activities for years and are directly responsible for carrying out the October 7 massacre and managing the war against the State of Israel,” IDF wrote on X.
