Trump demanded that Netanyahu not launch new strikes against Qatar

US President Donald Trump has demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commit himself not to launch new attacks on Qatar after the attack on the leaders of the Palestinian radical movement Hamas in Doha. This was reported on September 11 by the Axios portal, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, Netanyahu did not consult with Trump or any of his top advisers before the attack on Doha.

"This attack has damaged not only Israel's global credibility, but also potentially America's. Qatar's prime Minister has informed the White House that his country will now review its security partnership with Washington after this act of "betrayal."

According to US officials, after the strike on Qatar, Trump held two telephone conversations with Netanyahu. According to the portal, "Netanyahu is not going to publicly apologize," and even hinted that he could order a new attack, regardless of the American leader's demands.

At the same time, Qatar's Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said he considered the incident a betrayal by Israel and the United States.

"Al Thani informed White House Envoy Steve Witkoff that after Qatar was attacked by Iran and then Israel for six months, he would conduct a deep assessment of his security partnership with the United States "and possibly find other partners" who could support its security if necessary.", — stated in the article.
