“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. This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. 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. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal. I immediately directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did, however, unfortunately, too late to stop the attack. I view Qatar as a strong Ally and friend of the U.S., and feel very badly about the location of the attack. I want ALL of the Hostages, and bodies of the dead, released, and this War to END, NOW! I also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after the attack. The Prime Minister told me that he wants to make Peace. I believe this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for PEACE. I also spoke to the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar, and thanked them for their support and friendship to our Country. I assured them that such a thing will not happen again on their soil. I have directed Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, to finalize the Defense Cooperation Agreement with Qatar. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Trump "feels very badly" about location of Israeli's Doha strike: WH press secretary

President Trump directed his team to inform the Qataris ahead of an Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas leadership and "feels very badly" about the location of the attack, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a Tuesday press briefing.
The big picture: The strike on the key U.S. ally came amid renewed efforts to reach a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
- Qatar has been a primary mediator in talks since the October 7 attacks.
- "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," she continued.
- But she added that eliminating Hamas is a "worthy goal."
What he's saying: "This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me," Trump said in a Truth Social post that echoed the statement shared by Leavitt Tuesday.
- Friction point: The White House's sharp rebuke marks a break in stance between Netanyahu and Trump, who in July said there was "real starvation" in Gaza despite the Israeli leader's denials.
- But Trump has not opposed Israel's offensive to occupy Gaza City, the first major phase of which started last week with the flattening of high-rise buildings.
Trump tries to soothe Qatar after Israeli strikes but stops short for now of decrying another ally
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trumpwas trying to walk a delicate line following Israel’s attack on Hamas officials in Qatar, saying he’s “not thrilled” about the strike Tuesday while stopping short for now of condemning Israel for carrying out an audacious strike on the soil of another major U.S. ally.
Trump said the unilateral action directed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “did not advance Israel or America’s goals.” He offered notably muted pushback, however, even suggesting “this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for peace.”
“This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me,” Trump said on social media hours after the strikes.
Later Tuesday, Trump made clear it was “not a good situation.”
“I’m not thrilled about it,” Trump said upon arriving at a Washington restaurant for dinner near the White House.
The president said he wasn’t notified in advance of the attack. He added, “I’ll be giving a full statement tomorrow. But I will tell you this, I was very unhappy about it. Very unhappy about every aspect.”
Trump is seeking to soothe concerns of a Gulf ally that has played a key role in mediating between the U.S. and Iran and its proxies, including during talks with Tehran-backed Hamas as the war with Israel in Gaza grinds on. The U.S. also has about 10,000 troops stationed at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, an installation that serves as the forward headquarters of U.S. Central Command.

The president said he directed special envoy Steve Witkoff to warn Qatar of the impending attack in the capital, Doha, after learning about it and that Witkoff was quick to call Qatari officials. But the U.S. alert was, “unfortunately, too late to stop the attack,” Trump said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari refuted in a post on X that the Qataris were given any warning from the U.S., saying it came just as “the explosions from the Israeli strikes were being heard.”
Qatar has sought closer ties with Trump
The Qataris have sought to deepen their relationship with Trump since his return to office. They have even gifted Trump a $400 million Boeing 747 jet that is to be retrofitted into a new Air Force One. Trump has said the plane will be donated to a future presidential library once his term ends and put on display as a museum piece.“I view Qatar as a strong Ally and friend of the U.S., and feel very badly about the location of the attack,” Trump said on social media.
At the same time, Qatar, a wealthy nation with expansive natural gas and oil reserves, has faced scrutiny for its support of Hamas. Prior to the Israel-Hamas war, Doha for years sent millions of dollars per month to the Gaza Strip to prop up Hamas’ governing structure. Qatar has also hosted leaders of the Taliban and the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a carefully worded statement, Trump also made clear that “eliminating Hamas” was a “worthy goal.”
Trump’s effort to try to assuage Qatar without criticizing Israel comes as he struggles to find an endgame to the nearly two-year-old war in Gaza and win the release of 48 hostages, about 20 who are believed to still be alive.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking at a briefing earlier Tuesday, did not say how long before the Israeli strikes that Qatar was warned.
She, like Trump, also did not address whether there was any concern that the Qataris could, in turn, have forewarned Hamas leaders that the Israeli strike was coming. Hamas says its top leaders survived the Israeli strike and that five lower-ranking members died.
Israeli warning to the US described as vague
The U.S. military was notified about the Israeli strike ahead of time through military channels, but a U.S. official described that notification as very vague.The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to freely discuss sensitive matters, said the notification included the fact that the Israeli military was going to attack Hamas but did not include specifics like a location, which made it insufficient to allow for any timely follow-on warnings to countries in the region.
Israel perfunctorily warning the U.S. ahead of operations has been an aggravation for much of the war, according to a former U.S. government official who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomatic issue. Frequently, the official said, Israeli notification “consisted of them calling someone at the embassy or at the Pentagon when planes were already in the air.”
Yet, with a strike this sensitive, the official said, it was difficult to believe Israel had not at least received tacit approval from the U.S. before moving forward with the operation.
White House and State Department officials did not respond to requests for comment about the timing or substance of Witkoff’s warning to Qatar.
Jonathan Schanzer, a former counterterrorism analyst at the U.S. Treasury Department, said the White House’s public comments may be in part an effort to help Qatar save face and keep its relations steady with the United States.
“It’s damage control,” said Schanzer, who is executive director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington. But he added that the strike could affect the Qataris and their relationship with Hamas moving forward.
“There’s a lot of taking stock right now by all parties,” he said.
Trump talks with both sides
Trump spoke with Netanyahu and Qatar’s ruling emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and other Qatari officials following the strikes.“I assured them that such a thing will not happen again on their soil,” Trump said of his conversation with Qatari officials.
Leavitt demurred when asked if there would be any consequences for the Israelis or Netanyahu for the strike that she suggested was unexpected by U.S. officials.
Trump posted on social media Sunday a cryptic warning to Hamas hinting at a new American proposal to exchange all the remaining hostages for Palestinian prisoners and end the war in Gaza.
“I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting,” Trump said. “This is my last warning, there will not be another one!”
Asked if Trump had been hinting at the Doha strike, Leavitt replied, “No, he was not.”
This definitely true, especially since the center command team was in Israel last week,

The commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM), Adm. Brad Cooper, has wrapped up his first visit to Israel today as a guest of IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the military says.
Cooper was received with an honor guard at the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv before joining Zamir and members of the General Staff for an operational assessment that reviewed the current security situation and plans for the coming period.
He also toured Israeli communities along the Gaza border affected by the Hamas invasion of October 7, 2023, and ensuing war in the Strip.
Cooper took over Central Command last month from Gen. Michael Kurilla, a staunch Israel supporter and frequent visitor.
According to the IDF, Cooper’s visit focused on deepening operational cooperation between the American and Israeli militaries, preserving regional stability, and coordinating responses to shared threats across the Middle East.

This was a setup. The biggest US base in the middle east is in Qatar. No way in hell they would miss an incoming missile or aircraft.
They need to ditch those American-based compromised phones.....
These folks are the devils on Earth literally: The New Nazis
same thing Larry Wilkerson said in the clip above
Probably needs to go with the Chinaman phone
Dude down in Venezuela said this what he’s using
Definitely
It's scary, just think any American carrying, say an iPhone, can be tracked and killed by a drone. One moment you're looking at Google maps to smash this chick you had just met and next moment you're extinguished by a drone; now, she wonders why you stood her up.same thing Larry Wilkerson said in the clip above
