Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi on Tuesday amid disagreements over policy decisions, including a recent attack on Qatar and an offensive to occupy Gaza City, local media said, Anadolu reports.

Hanegbi confirmed his departure, saying his tenure as head of the National Security Council would end after Netanyahu informed him a replacement would be appointed, The Jerusalem Post daily reported.

He called for a “thorough investigation” into Israel’s failures surrounding the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, saying he shared in the responsibility.

Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the deputy head of the National Security Council, Gil Reich, has been appointed as the acting head of the agency, replacing Hanegbi, according to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

Israeli media, including Channel 12, reported that Hanegbi had clashed with Netanyahu over both last month’s airstrike targeting Hamas leadership in the Qatari capital Doha and the launch of a military operation to occupy Gaza City.

Before the operation began, Hanegbi reportedly told the Cabinet he opposed Netanyahu’s push to take control of Gaza City, arguing it could endanger the lives of Israeli hostages.

“I fully agree with the chief of staff (Eyal Zamir) that taking control of Gaza City jeopardizes the lives of the hostages, which is why I oppose the prime minister’s proposal,” he was quoted as saying by Channel 12.

Five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer were killed in the Israeli attack in Doha on Sept. 9 amid a global condemnation of the strike.

A ceasefire agreement took effect in Gaza on Oct. 10, based on a phased plan presented by US President Donald Trump. Phase one included the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed over 68,200 people and injured more than 170,300, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

QATAR’S Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani is demanding a “collective response” to Israel’s deadly attack on the Qatari capital Doha.

Sheikh Mohammed told US news channel CNN on Wednesday that “there is a response that will happen from the region. This response is currently under consultation and discussion with other partners in the region, adding that “the entire Gulf region is at risk.”

He accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of leading the region into “chaos” and hoped the response from Arab nations would be “something meaningful that deters Israel from continuing this bullying.”

The Qataris plan to host an Arab-Islamic summit on Sunday and Monday, the country’s QNA news agency reported.

Sheikh Mohammed also said that the Israeli strike was aimed at undermining “any chance of peace” in Gaza.

He said: “I think that what [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu did yesterday — he just killed any hope for those [Israeli] hostages.”  Twenty captives are believed to be still alive in Gaza.

Even as there was widespread international condemnation of the attack on Doha, the Israeli prime minister threatened further attacks, saying that “Qatar and all nations who harbour terrorists, you either expel them or you bring them to justice. Because if you don’t, we will.”

QATAR condemned a blatant “violation” of international law by Israel after Tel Aviv’s military attacked a meeting of Hamas leaders in the capital Doha today, killing at least two of them.

A senior Hamas official told reporters that Israel had targeted the movement’s negotiating team while they were discussing the ceasefire “ideas” put forward by US President Donald Trump.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry said: “We condemn the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential quarters of several Hamas political bureau members.

“The criminal assault is a violation of all international laws” and Qatar “will not tolerate any action targeting its security or sovereignty.”

According to initial reports, political bureau head Khalil al-Hayya and financial officer Zaher Jabarin were killed in the strike.

Israeli Channel 11 reported that the Israeli attack had been co-ordinated with Washington.

A senior official in the Hamas movement, Taher Al-Nounou, has confirmed that the group has agreed to release 10 Israeli captives currently held in Gaza in order to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid and bring an end to the ongoing war on the Strip.

In remarks made to the press on Wednesday, Al-Nounou said that Hamas is showing a high degree of flexibility during the current negotiations taking place in the Qatari capital, Doha, and is responding positively to mediators. 

He noted that this round of talks faces serious challenges, but stressed that the movement remains committed to its core demands, foremost among them the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a comprehensive end to the aggression.

He emphasised that Hamas’s primary goal in any negotiations is to safeguard the interests of the Palestinian people and stop what he described as “the crime of genocide”, while also ensuring that humanitarian aid can enter Gaza freely and with dignity.

Al-Nounou pointed out that the flexibility Hamas has demonstrated in dealing with proposals from mediators has been one of the main reasons for progress in the talks. He confirmed that the decision to release the Israeli prisoners falls within this humanitarian and political context.

Stressing the importance of international guarantees, Al-Nounou noted that the United States holds real leverage over Israel to end the war, and could compel it to adhere to any agreement reached—if it exercises the political will to do so.
