"A week after Israel's missile strikes in Qatar, it's clear not only that the assassination attempt against Hamas leaders failed, but that it backfired, Axios' Barak Ravid writes.
Why it matters: The strike increased the feeling inside the Trump administration and around the world that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government is reckless and has become a destabilizing force in the region.
How it happened: Israel's plan was to take out several of Hamas' top leaders all at once as they met to discuss President Trump's Gaza peace proposal.
Five Hamas members were killed, along with a Qatari security officer. But the key targets all survived. The failed attack led to the indefinite suspension of negotiations. Hamas' negotiators went underground, and outraged Qatari mediators suspended their efforts."
