Almost like in brazen vengefulness, Israel has been obliterating all international norms with illegal acts, such as waves of assassinations in other countries' sovereign soils; bombing them with impunity; and enacting all the clauses of genocide logged in the UN Genocide Convention upon Gaza. It has razed Gaza to the ground, inflicting famine and extreme human conditions on the people.

The Arab neighborhood and the world community have not relented from giving a tit-for-tat to Israel either. Not only has it been bombed from Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran, it has also been economically isolated via the Boycott Divest Sanction Movement and criminalised by the ICC. Moreover, the world community has repeatedly sided with the people of Gaza, raised voice against the genocide and recognised Palestine as a state, in the UN.

Almost two years into the war and being continuously hit from different sides, Israel has practically started behaving like a wounded hound that just needs to keep attacking and showing aggression because it feels so vulnerable. This behaviour peaked when Israel hit the very offices in Doha, where Hamas negotiators were trying to find a way to peace and end war. In contrast, Israel wanted to tell the world that it will not allow any negotiations, nor will it end the war.

The problem is that every step of aggression Israel has taken has only hurt itself and isolated not only itself but also its greatest ally, the US. And the Doha attack has been a peak point in this lunacy, for it has been the reason for the Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA) between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The attack rattled the whole Gulf's faith........
