White house: Netanyahu apologizes to catar for air raid

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked Qatar to apologize for the air raid from the beginning of September, according to the White House. During his visit to the White House on Monday, Netanyahu, together with US President Donald Trump, and the Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on the phone, said the White House in Washington.

Netanyahu expressed his “deep regret” that Israel had violated the Qatarian sovereignty and that in the rocket attack on Hamas goals, a Qatarian soldier had been killed in the explanation. Netanyahu has confirmed that “Israel will not do such an attack again in the future”.



At the suggestion of Trump, Israel and Qatar agreed with the United States on a trilateral mechanism “to improve coordination, strengthen communication, to solve mutual symptoms and to intensify joint efforts to defend threats”.

At the beginning of September, the Israeli army flown to destinations in Katar’s capital Doha, which, according to army information, was directed against the management level of the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas. Six people died, but nobody from the top Hamas leadership.

In addition to Egypt and the USA, Qatar plays an important role in the indirect conversations between Israel and Hamas about a ceasefire in the Gaza War and the release of the hostages held by Hamas.
