A significant development has emerged from Arab media sources reporting that the last remaining Hamas leaders and their families have been expelled from Qatar today, following the country's severing of ties with the organization after Trump's victory.

According to Arab media reports, approximately three weeks after Qatar reportedly informed Hamas leaders they were "no longer welcome" in the country, all senior Hamas officials and their families have now definitively left. This move follows the recent U.S. elections where Trump secured a second term, prompting Qatari authorities to request Hamas leaders' departure.

Sources close to Qatari authorities reveal that the final group of Hamas leaders and their families left the country early today, following weeks of gradual departures. The exodus wasn't coordinated as a single group, but rather occurred in stages over recent weeks.

The senior officials reportedly dispersed to various location, including Turkey, Iran, Iraq and some have even departed for South America

This marks a significant shift in Qatar's stance toward Hamas, which had previously served as a base for many of the organization's political leaders.
