US EditionNetanyahu calls Qatari prime minister to apologize for Israeli strike targeting Hamas officials in Doha, AP sources say
- On September 9, Israel launched a missile strike in Doha targeting Hamas leaders involved in US-backed ceasefire talks, killing a Qatari security guard and several lower-ranking Hamas members.
- The strike violated Qatari sovereignty and caused Qatar to refuse continuing its mediation role, prompting Prime Minister Netanyahu to issue an apology during a White House call with Qatari and US leaders.
- Netanyahu expressed deep regret for the attack, assured no future violations of Qatar's sovereignty, and signaled possible compensation to the slain guard's family, while Qatar reaffirmed its commitment to regional stability.
- The apology sparked sharp backlash in Israel, where critics across the political spectrum, including National Security Minister Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Smotrich, condemned it as betrayal and disgrace undermining Israeli dignity.
- This event highlights Netanyahu's challenge to balance maintaining relations with Washington and Doha amid the Qatargate scandal and domestic scorn, while efforts continue to restart Gaza ceasefire and hostage negotiations.
