“It is not a decision I made to me: Trump reprimands Israel on the strike

President Donald Trump issued an extraordinary general reprimand for Israel on Tuesday after its army carried out an air strike in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in an attempt to assassinate senior Hamas leaders. The strike, which Hamas said killed at least five people, defeated one of the closest Gulf allies in Washington and threatened to reveal the fragile negotiations on the ceasefire in Gaza.

“The unilateral bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and a close ally of the United States, which is working hard and courageously risking with us for peace, does not provide the goals of Israel or America,” and Trump also published on his social media platform in the field of truth after hours of strike.

The president added: “I look at Qatar as a strong ally and a friend of the United States, and I feel strongly at the site of the attack,” noting that the strike decision inside Qatar was taken by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “It was not a decision I made,” Trump explained.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli army confirmed that it had implemented what it described as “a precise blow targeting the senior leadership of Hamas terrorist organization.” Israeli officials said that the goal was a building that has long been known as the Hamas meeting sites, “The Day of Governance”, and he claimed that Khalil Al -Hayya, the chief negotiator in Hamas, was in their eyes.

However, the decision to launch the attack on the Qatari soil immediately resumed across the area and inside the White House, where the officials said that the strike had risked the removal of sensitive diplomacy. The Ministry of Interior in Qatar said that a member of the Interior Security Forces was killed in the strike. Nearly 10,000 American soldiers are also stationed in Qatar at the air base.

The bombing of Tuesday in Doha was the first time that Israel was exposed directly to the territory of an Arab nation in the Gulf, which is closely in line with Washington. In recent months, Israel has struck Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon, the Houthi strongholds in Yemen, and Iranian nuclear facilities.

White House press secretary Caroline Levit told reporters on Tuesday that the Trump administration had been notified shortly before the strike by the US military. She initially said that Trump brought out a special envoy Steve Wittouf to warn Qatar from an “imminent attack”, but he later made it clear that the call was only after US military officials informed the White House that the bombing was already underway.

Qatar, who has hosted Hamas’s political office since 2012 at the request of the United States, denied that it had a prior notice of a strike, according to Majid Al Zari, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “The call came from an American official during the sound of the explosions caused by the Israeli attack in Doha,” he said. “This criminal assault is a flagrant violation of all international laws and standards, and constitutes a serious threat to Qatari security and safety in Qatar.”

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tarim bin Hamad Thani, told Trump in a phone call that his country “will take all necessary measures to protect its security and maintain its sovereignty,” according to readings of the conversation that Qatar is participating. He warned that Israel’s work not only targeted Hamas, but also led to the underground of the strenuous emirate as a mediator.

For several months, Qatari officials were moving between Hamas, Israel and the United States to negotiate a ceasefire that could secure nearly 20 Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Hamas Qattari officials said that Qatar’s meetings were meeting to discuss the recent Trump proposal when the building was beaten in Doha. Hamas said in a statement after that: “The attempt to assassinate the coward will not change our positions and clear requests.”

Hamas said that the attack was killed by the son of the negotiator, Khalil Al -Hayya and his office manager, but he left the leading leaders without being harmful. Just hours ago, Hamas claimed responsibility for shooting at a bus station in Jerusalem, which killed six people, a blow, saying that Israeli officials said it was a bombing operator.

Several countries condemned the Israeli strike. The United Arab Emirates, which purified relations with Israel under Ibrahim’s agreements, called the strike a “serious attack on international law” and “a reckless escalation”. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia condemned it as “brutal”. British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer criticized this measure as a violation of the Qatari sovereignty and urged “an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and an increase in humanitarian aid to Gaza.” Antonio Guterres, the Secretary -General of the United Nations, described it as a “flagrant violation” of regional integrity in Qatar.

Trump wrote that eliminating Hamas was a “worthy goal”, but he stressed that he should not come at the expense of America’s allies or wider efforts to end the war. “I want all the hostages, the bodies of the dead, which were launched, and this war to end them now!” He said, adding that Netanyahu told him that he wanted peace. “I think this unfortunate incident can serve as a chance of peace.”
