Following an Israeli airstrike in Doha, PM Modi spoke to Qatari Amir, condemning the attack as tensions escalate. Israel hints at further strikes on Hamas leaders while Arab leaders show solidarity with Qatar.

President caused ethics uproar in Washington this spring by accepting the plane and, just months later, the emirate is reeling from a surprise airstrike carried out on its soil by a key U.S. ally

Israel's strikes targeting Hamas in Doha, hot on the heels of an Iranian hit on a U.S. base in the Gulf nation in June, could shake Qatar's image as a stable business hub as it seeks to balance commercial goals with global diplomatic ambitions.

Qatar says Israel's attack was "state terrorism". The Qatari Prime Minister, Mohammed Al Thani, has made it clear that there was no advance warning from the US. The first call from an American official came 10 minutes after the attack started, he said.
