Danny Danon insists that the aim of the attack was Hamas, not Qatar. He said that although Israel appreciates American support, it sometimes makes its own decisions that Washington only reports.
Israel always does not act in accordance with the interests of its ally – the United States, the UN Ambassador Danny Danon said on Wednesday. He said the day after Israel had raids at the Top, where he, according to his own statements, focused on the leadership of the Palestinian militant Hamas movement. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
Donald Trump allegedly disagrees with the Israeli attack on Qatar’s land
“We do not always act in accordance with the interests of the United States. We coordinate, provide us with tremendous support, appreciate it, but sometimes we make decisions and the United States inform about them,” the Israeli ambassador said.
The White House said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump disagrees with the decision of Israel to take military strikes in Qatar, which is also an American ally, and Qatar warned in advance. However, a spokesman for the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims that the claims that Qatar was informed in advance about the attack is not true.
“It was not an attack on Qatar, it was an attack on Hamas. We are not against Qatar or any Arab state, we are now against a terrorist organization,” Danon said.
Danon: We can’t comment on the outcome of the operation yet, but the decision was right
Hamas claims that six people – the son of Hamas Chief negotiator Chalíl Hajja, the head of his office and three physical guards, as well as one member of the Qatar security forces, died on Tuesday’s attack in Doha. The Palestinian movement declared that “the enemy failed to murder members of the negotiating delegation”, which is negotiating a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in Qatar.
Danon claims that Israel is still waiting for the results of this operation. “It is too early to comment on the result, but this decision was right,” he concluded.
