Following the Israeli strike in Qatar, top Hamas leaders have gone into hiding. The officials who are reported to have gone underground include Al-Khalil al-Hayya, Osama Hamdan, and Izzat al-Rishq. These individuals were crucial for the Gaza agreement. The situation has complicated the hostage agreement, since the US can’t contact them. There’s speculation that Hamas officials might be hiding in Turkey, where Israel’s military actions would be more complicated due to Turkey’s NATO membership.
