Strike killed 5 Hamas members in country acting as mediator in Gaza war
Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke out against Israel's strike on the headquarters of Hamas political leaders in Qatar on Tuesday.
Hamas said the strike killed five of its members as the militant group's top figures gathered to consider a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The United States said Israel alerted it before the strike, but American officials sought to distance the U.S. from the attack.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that U.S. President Donald Trump believes the Israeli strike was an "unfortunate incident" that didn't advance peace in the region. She said Trump spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the strike and "made his thoughts and concerns very clear."
