Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologized to Qatar after an airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha killed a Qatari national. The apology was conveyed during a phone call with Qatar’s Prime Minister while Netanyahu was meeting former U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday. According to a White House statement, Netanyahu expressed “deep regret” that a Qatari soldier was unintentionally killed in the missile strike. He also admitted that targeting Hamas leaders during hostage negotiations violated Qatar’s sovereignty and pledged such actions would not be repeated. Qatar’s foreign ministry confirmed the apology was accepted. The Qatari leadership also thanked U.S. President Trump for reaffirming Washington’s commitment to Qatar’s defense partnership and for assurances that further aggressions would be prevented.
