Israeli PM Netanyahu apologises to Qatar over Doha attack
"As a first step, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his deep regret that Israel's missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman, a White House statement said. He further expressed regret that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future."
"At least five lower-ranking Hamas members and a Qatari security official were killed in the September 9 attack, which targeted senior Hamas leaders involved in negotiating a US-backed ceasefire. Hamas's top leaders survived the assassination attempt. It was the first Israeli attack on Qatar, a key mediator in ceasefire efforts and host of the US military's largest base in the Middle East, Al Udeid."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologised to Qatar for an Israeli missile strike that unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman during an unprecedented attack on Hamas leaders in Doha. The apology was conveyed to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani during a joint call involving United States President Donald Trump. Netanyahu expressed deep regret for the deaths and acknowledged that targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations violated Qatari sovereignty, affirming that Israel will not carry out such attacks again. The September 9 strike killed at least five lower-ranking Hamas members and a Qatari security official, while senior Hamas leaders survived. Qatar confirmed the call as part of US efforts to address repercussions and welcomed guarantees aimed at preventing a recurrence of aggression against the State of Qatar.
