WANA (Sep 09) – For the United States and the Israeli regime, negotiations and diplomacy are not a path to peace but a lethal intelligence trap to identify and eliminate resistance leaders. The Israeli airstrike on Hamas’s political bureau in Doha—at the very moment a Palestinian delegation was reviewing Washington’s latest ceasefire proposal—once again confirmed this bitter truth.

 

While reformist circles have long theorized “negotiation” as the only solution, the enemy’s operational pattern tells a different story. According to explicit admissions by Israeli media, the strike was carried out not only with full knowledge but with the direct authorization of U.S. President Donald Trump himself. In other words, the same person who put the ceasefire plan on the table simultaneously gave the order to assassinate the very negotiators discussing it.

This scenario follows a recurring, systematic pattern—executed for the fifth time in just the past year:

 

  • A pledge not to strike Beirut, followed by the assassination of Martyr Fouad Shukr.
  • A 21-day ceasefire proposal, followed by the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah just after initial approval.
  • Exploiting an operation to free an American hostage to track and kill Mohammed Sinwar.
  • Conveying acceptance of uranium enrichment and fixing a negotiation date, followed by a strike on Iranian soil.
  • Presenting a new U.S. proposal, convening Hamas’s political bureau to review it, and then launching an airstrike.

A senior Hamas official has openly confirmed: “The meeting in Doha that was targeted was in fact reviewing the ceasefire proposal presented by Trump.” In other words, the enemy lures resistance leaders together with promises of peace, only to finish them off with an airstrike.

 

The details of this terrorist operation reveal broader dimensions of betrayal: Qatar’s air defenses—largely overseen by the U.S.—fell completely silent and showed no response to the incursion. This demonstrates that the Pentagon not only knew of the strike but also facilitated its execution.

 

Netanyahu has repeatedly proven he is not seeking an agreement. Whenever talks reach a critical point, he launches a new provocation to upend the table and escape domestic and international pressure.

Trump had earlier claimed this was the “last chance for negotiation.” Today it is clear what he meant: the last chance to hunt down Hamas leaders.

 

Above all, this attack carries a major lesson for anyone still clinging to hopes in the honesty of the U.S. and its illegitimate offspring in the region. This event must once and for all inscribe a permanent truth in history: for America and Israel, “negotiation” is code for “assassination.”
