Netanyahu Said to Apologize to Qatar for Deadly Israel Missile Strike on Hamas

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Qatar’s prime minister on Monday to express “deep regret” for a deadly missile strike this month that targeted Hamas figures in Doha, the US government said.

Netanyahu made a joint call with US President Donald Trump from the White House to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, conveying regret for unintentionally killing a Qatari security guard. The move was part of Trump’s efforts to get a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Qatar is a key mediator between the warring sides.
