Netanyahu Threatens Qatar and Turkey Over Hamas Leadership: Either Expel Them or Prosecute Them, or We Will Do It

Translation by SadaNews - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a threat to Qatar and Turkey regarding the hosting of Hamas leaders and those he referred to as "terrorists".

Netanyahu said in a video in English: "I say to Qatar and all countries that host terrorists: Either expel them or bring them to justice, because if you don't, we will do it ourselves," he stated.

Netanyahu was speaking in the video about the anniversary of the September 11 attacks, saying: "Tomorrow, September 11, Islamic terrorists committed the worst atrocity on American soil since the founding of the United States... We also have September 11. We remember October 7. On that day, Islamic terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust," as described by him, according to SadaNews translation.

He added: "What did America do in the wake of September 11? They promised to pursue the terrorists who committed this heinous crime, wherever they were. They also issued a resolution in the UN Security Council, two weeks later, stating that governments cannot harbor terrorists," he said.

He continued: "Well, yesterday, we acted in the same manner. We pursued the masterminds of terror who perpetrated the massacre of October 7. And we did this. In Qatar, which provides a safe haven, harbors terrorists, funds Hamas, gives its terrorist leaders luxurious villas, and provides them with everything."

He continued: "We did exactly what America did when it pursued Al-Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan, and after they went and killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan."

He added: "Now, various countries around the world condemn Israel. They should be ashamed of themselves. What did they do after America eliminated Osama bin Laden? Did they say: What a terrible thing happened in Afghanistan or Pakistan? No, they applauded. They should commend Israel for adhering to the same principles and applying them."
