United States President Donald Trump denied the Israeli attack on Hamas in Doha, Qatar, was his decision and assured that similar episodes will not occur in the territory of the American ally. In a publication on the Social Truth, Trump stated that this was a decision “made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me.”
The Republican stressed that “unilaterally bombarding within Qatar, a sovereign nation near the US, which is working hard and taking risks courageously with us to intermediate peace, does not advance Israel’s goals or the US.”
Trump also said he ordered special envoy Steve Witkoff to alert the Cataris about the offensive. “What he did, however, unfortunately too late to prevent the attack.” The president classified Qatar as a “strong ally and friend of the US”, and said he felt “very bad” about the scene of the attack.

In the same message, Trump asked for the immediate end of the war with the release of all hostages maintained by Hamas. He reported talking to Netanyahu shortly after the episode. “The premie told me that he wants to make peace. I believe this unfortunate incident can serve as an opportunity for peace,” he said.
Trump also added that he spoke to Emir do Qatar, Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, whom he thanked for the “support and friendship” to the US. “I assured that something like this will not happen again in its territory,” he wrote. According to the president, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, was instructed to finalize a cooperation agreement in defense with the country of Gulf.
