Ghazi Hamad was one of the prime targets of the assassination attempt last week, but he appeared alive and well during the Al Jazeera broadcast on Wednesday evening.

Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad, who was one of the targets of the assassination attempt last week in Doha, Qatar, was interviewed by Al Jazeera on Wednesday evening.
Hamad is the second Hamas official to be interviewed since the strike, following a similar interview earlier this week with Taher al-Nunu, who was not among the targets.
Hamad described the situation in the meeting that Israel struck, recounting, "We were sitting to discuss the American proposal to end the war. Less than an hour later, we heard explosions and immediately realized it was an assassination attempt. As residents of Gaza, we recognize these sounds. We tried to flee the area as quickly as possible – and we succeeded."
A recent report in Hebrew media on Wednesday said that the IDF believes the decision to limit the force of the warheads on the missiles was what allowed the leaders to survive. Israel was reportedly concerned that a larger explosion, which could lead to greater collateral damage and the death of Qatari civilians, would seriously affect relations with both Qatar and the United States.
Hamad called the strikes an attack on the "entire nation."
"It's not just us who are being attacked, but the entire [Arab] nation," Hamad claimed. "Israel no longer has red lines. Netanyahu is talking about changing the face of the Middle East, and this requires an Arab response."
Hamad also responded to President Donald Trump's recent threats to Hamas if they do not free the remaining hostages, or deliberately put them in danger.
"We are not afraid of Trump's threats to unleash hell upon us," Hamad said. "We do not take orders from him on how to treat enemy prisoners. We treat them according to our own methods and according to our religion."

Too bad they missed.
“We do not take orders from him on how to treat enemy prisoners. We treat them according to our own methods and according to our religion.”
Savages. Exterminate every last one of them.
And their families.
No mercy.
No remorse.

ABC's probably calling him to offer a late night talk show host job.
As if anyone believes that for a second.
He looks pissed that he didn’t get his 78 virgins.
Why was my post banned? If non-Zionist viewpoints aren’t welcome they should just come out and say so. Since Israel is in the news so much and you aren’t allowed to discuss it except within certain restricted parameters on here I’ll just spend more time on X instead.
First. Last?
You don’t like Zionism, take it up with Jesus. I’m sure he would be interested in your viewpoints.
6 days is the over/under
Don’t let the screen door hit you in the ass on yer way out...

He is probably still on the Israeli’s short list for ‘removal’. Not the smartest thing to do, conducting interviews, but let him find out the hard way.
Maybe he’ll receive a Special Awards Phone in the mail free of charge, from ‘certain sources’. That first conversation should be a Blast!
X may be more anti-Semite friendly.
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt.
