Israel’s Qatar Strike Condemned as Trump Expresses Discontent

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

Doha/Jerusalem/Washington — Israel’s unprecedented airstrike on Hamas leadership in Qatar is drawing mounting criticism both domestically and internationally, with US President Donald Trump publicly expressing discontent and Qatari leaders calling for accountability.

According to Israeli officials, doubts are emerging over the effectiveness of the strike, which targeted Hamas figures in Doha. Sources told CNN that at least two senior Israeli officials have sought to distance themselves from the operation during conversations with foreign counterparts.

The strike, which marked Israel’s first publicly acknowledged attack on a Gulf state, has raised concerns about its broader impact on the region. Qatar, a close US ally and central mediator in Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations, warned that the attack risks derailing fragile peace efforts.

In an exclusive interview, Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul rahman bin Jassim Al-Thani condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, insisting he “must be brought to justice.” He added that Qatar hopes for a “collective response” from regional partners against what he described as reckless aggression.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump voiced his dissatisfaction with Israel’s actions, saying he was “very unhappy about every aspect” of the strike. His remarks highlight growing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem at a sensitive moment in Gaza ceasefire talks.

Analysts warn that the fallout from Israel’s strike could complicate hostage negotiations, deepen rifts within Israel’s leadership, and strain relations with key allies, particularly Qatar and the United States.
