‘Israel’ Expresses Regret for Strike in Qatar

Netanyahu expressed “deep regret” that an ‘Israeli’ missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar killed a Qatari security officer.

 

Netanyahu also regretted that, in targeting Hamas leadership during Gaza negotiations, ‘Israel’ violated Qatari sovereignty.

 

He affirmed that ‘Israel’ would not conduct such an attack again, the White House continued.

 

In return, Qatari Prime Minister Al Thani “welcomed these assurances, emphasizing Qatar's readiness to continue contributing meaningfully to regional security and stability. Netanyahu expressed commitment to the same.”

 

The call also discussed a proposal for ending the war in Gaza.
