Trump Expresses Displeasure Over Israeli Strike in Qatar, Warns of Gaza Ceasefire Risk

US President Donald Trump expressed strong displeasure over Israel's airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar, describing the situation as "not pleasing" and "not a good situation." The strike, ordered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aimed at Hamas figures organizing attacks but resulted in civilian casualties, including a Qatari security officer. Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of international law and "state terrorism," warning it jeopardizes ongoing ceasefire talks. Trump emphasized that while the return of hostages remains a top priority for the US, he was unhappy with the timing and execution of the strike, noting it was conducted without prior US notification, which strained relations with Gulf allies. The Israeli military defended the operation, asserting it targeted Hamas leadership with precision to minimize civilian harm, while Trump directed US envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatari authorities post-strike. The incident has complicated peace efforts and highlighted tensions between the US administration, Israel, and regional partners.
