We welcome you, Hamas leader Ghazi Hamad

But before we address the situation in Gaza in its military dimensions

and also its humanitarian and political implications

You were present at the site that was targeted by the Israeli attack in Doha

which aimed to assassinate Hamas leaders

Could you tell us exactly what happened then?

Yes, that's correct

We were in a meeting of the negotiating delegation and some advisers

and we were focused on studying the proposal we had received from our brothers in Qatar

which was the American proposal

We had already begun discussing this proposal

and examining all its aspects

But less than an hour after we began studying this proposal

we heard the deafening sound of the bombardment

We are familiar with the sound of rockets

and throughout the wars on the Gaza Strip

We quickly came to our senses and started to leave the location

because we knew with complete certainty that this was an Israeli attack

and the site was bombed

So we tried as hard as we could to get out quickly

so as not to be caught in the shelling or targeted

Thank God, we were able to survive by quickly getting out of this place.

The situation was horrific; the shelling was intense.

Rockets were falling one after another without stopping.

About 12 rockets in less than a minute.

So the situation was harsh and difficult.

But, thank God, our Lord, Glorified and Exalted, has decreed for us

deliverance from this treacherous aggression.

against us and against our sister Qatar.
