"This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that Israel was attacking Hamas, which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals."
"The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States, and feels very badly about the location of this attack. President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza, and the bodies of the dead released, and this war to end now. President Trump also spoke to Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu after the attack. The prime minister told President Trump that he wants to make peace, and quickly."
Explosions in Doha resulted from an Israeli assassination attempt targeting Hamas leadership hosted in Qatar. The United States military notified the administration that Israel was attacking Hamas in a section of Doha. The U.S. directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatari officials of the impending attack. The president described Qatar as a strong ally and regretted the strike's location. Unilateral bombing inside Qatar does not advance U.S. or Israeli goals, while eliminating Hamas is characterized as a worthy objective. The president called for the release of hostages and of the bodies of the dead and spoke with Israeli and Qatari leaders, viewing the incident as a potential opportunity for peace.
