Trump tell’s Qatar, which has the largest American military base in the Middle East that there won’t be another Israeli attack against Hamas in THEIR Country….
The Israeli Prime Minister then says there very well COULD bE another attack….
Trump seems to look stupid, irrelevant and weak ….
As the people killed in Israel’s surprise strike on a Hamas meeting in the Qatari capital were buried at Doha’s Grand Mosque on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to launch new attacks on the country — a close U.S. ally — if it refused to eject the U.S.- and Israeli-designated terrorist group’s political representatives.
Qatar’s government has condemned Israel’s Tuesday strikes, saying the “criminal attack constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of the State of Qatar and its people.”
The U.S. has relied on Qatar to act as a go-between with Hamas, with which it has long had ties. Working through Hamas’ political office in Doha, both the Trump administration and the Biden administration before that have pushed hard, along with Egypt, to broker a ceasefire in the nearly two-year war between Israel and Hamas, sparked by the Palestinian group’s Oct. 7, 2023 attack. Senior Israeli officials have also traveled to Qatar many times to take part in these negotiations since the war began.
Qatar also hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, the Al-Udeid Air Base, where thousands of American military personnel are stationed….

“This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me,” Mr. Trump said in his social media post. “Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals.”
He called “eliminating” Hamas “a worthy goal,” but added that he had spoken with both Netanyahu and leaders in Qatar, and had assured the prime minister in Doha, “that such a thing will not happen again on their soil.”
For his part, Netanyahu has continued to defend the attack and suggested Israeli could launch another one. …

Israeli targeted attacks of its enemies…
Israel’s surprise attack in Qatar on Tuesday targeting Hamas’ top political leadership failed to kill any senior officials, according to Hamas.
But it was the latest in a long campaign of targeted attacks aimed at hunting down Israel’s top enemies since the Hamas-led attack on Israel in 2023. In the past two years, Israel is known to have carried out a string of targeted strikes throughout the Middle East — in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, and now Qatar — against top leaders of militant groups, and even Iranian officials themselves.
In Lebanon and Iran, those killings helped lead to an end of hostilities — for now.
In Gaza and Yemen, they did little to bring an end to war….
