Qatar has ordered Hamas to leave the country following US pressure in a major blow to the terror group’s leaders who have long lived there in comfort.

Qatar has agreed to expel Hamas leadership from its capital, Doha, following a request from the United States, CNN reported. The decision comes after months of US efforts to pressure Qatar to distance itself from the militant group, whose top leaders have resided in the Qatari capital throughout the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

The United States has reportedly told Qatar that the presence of Hamas leaders in Doha is no longer acceptable after the Palestinian terror group rejected the latest proposal to achieve a ceasefire and a hostage deal.
