Houthis express readiness to shelter Hamas leaders if driven out of Qatar

Muhammad al-Bukhaiti, a senior political official and spokesman for Yemen's Houthi rebels, extended an invitation to the Hamas leadership to relocate to Sanaa.

"We are prepared for the consequences, even if the sky falls to the ground," he stated, as reported by Ma'an News.

Media outlets have disclosed that the United States is pressing Qatari authorities to expel Hamas leaders from the country if they obstruct a potential deal with Israel aimed at securing the release of hostages held by terrorists in Gaza.

A US official informed The Washington Post that Secretary of State Antony Blinken conveyed this message to Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.

However, numerous analysts, including former US Ambassador to Qatar Patrick Theros, have expressed concerns, asserting that expelling Hamas from Qatar would pose a significant challenge for the White House, potentially hindering future negotiations. Theros described such a scenario as a "nightmare" that could render any forthcoming talks virtually unfeasible.
