Trump Expresses Anger to Netanyahu Over Israel Hamas Strike Qatar

President Trump expressed strong anger and frustration in a tense phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's surprise strike targeting Hamas officials in Qatar, a U.S. ally mediating ceasefire negotiations. Trump criticized Netanyahu for not informing the U.S. beforehand and called the decision unwise, as the attack risked undermining delicate peace talks and damaged relations with Qatar. Netanyahu defended the operation, stating he had a narrow window to act and warned of potential further strikes if Hamas officials continued to hide in Qatar. Despite initial hostility, a second, more cordial call took place, during which Trump asked about the strike's success, with Netanyahu unable to confirm. The strike killed several Hamas members and a Qatari security officer, while Hamas leaders claimed survival, and the attack led to Hamas withdrawing from ceasefire talks. The incident has increased tensions between the U.S. and Israel, with Trump reportedly frustrated by Netanyahu's unilateral decisions that challenge U.S. strategic interests in the Middle East.
