WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump believes Israel’s strike on Hamas targets in Qatar was unfortunate and he directed a top aide, Steve Witkoff, to warn Qatar the attack was coming, the White House said on Tuesday.
Trump spoke to both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the emir of Qatar after the strikes, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. He assured the Qatari leader that “such a thing will not happen again on their soil.”
