• Trump urges Israel to be careful in actions concerning Qatar, a US ally.
• Reports state Netanyahu informed Trump of plans before the strike on Hamas leaders.
• Trump denies prior warning and emphasizes no further strikes will occur in Qatar.
• Regional leaders condemn Israeli actions, asserting they threaten peace in the Middle East.

US President Donald Trump has advised Israel to be "very careful" regarding its military actions in Qatar, acknowledging the country's importance as a key ally to the United States. His remarks followed an Israeli airstrike in Doha that targeted Hamas leaders, which Trump described as a situation causing him to be "not thrilled" due to the potential undermining of a floating ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Trump reaffirmed Qatar's role as an ally during a recent dinner with its Prime Minister, expressing that the country has been wrongfully criticized, according to Indiatimes.

Reports have emerged suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed Trump of the impending strike prior to its execution, which contradicts the White House narrative that Trump learned about the strikes only after they were underway. Netanyahu reportedly communicated with Trump shortly before the attack, while White House spokespersons insisted that the notification came after missiles were airborne, indicating Trump had no chance to object, as reported by TRT Global.

In response to these conflicting accounts, Trump has denied prior knowledge of the attack, stating, "No, they didn't," and suggested that Israel will not be conducting further airstrikes in Qatar. However, Trump also indicated that actions against Hamas figures may still be on the table. This ambiguity in his statements has raised questions regarding future military strategy in the region, according to TRT Global and AA.
