NU.nl-Buitenland reporter Matthijs Le Loux : The White House confirms reporting from several international media that it had been informed in advance by Israel. This does not contribute to the credibility of Trump’s regret to Qatar.
As the tense relationship between Netanyahu and Trumps predecessor Joe Biden showed, Israel does not always do what his greatest ally wants. At the same time, it is clear that only the US can whistle Israeli prime minister in such a situation: Israel is highly dependent on American support. If the US really makes a breaking point of a diplomatic disagreement, then there is little chance that Tel Aviv will easily ignore it.
Israeli media report that the US was not only aware, but Israel explicitly gave permission for the attack in Qatar. If that is not true, the American approval was at least implicit: the White House did not use his muscles to avert the attack.
Message from Witkoff came in during the Qatarese Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that the American warning for the attack came in when explosions were heard in Doha. Earlier Qatar denied that the special American envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, had informed the country.

US would inform Qatar of attack The White House confirms in a statement that it was informed of the attack this morning. Steve Witkoff, the American special envoy for the Middle East, should have informed Qatar of the Israeli attack.
Furthermore, the White House says that hitting Hamas is a “worthy goal”. The US does feel bad about the location of the bombing.
The Israeli attack on Doha can count on substantial international criticism from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt, among others. According to the president of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun, Israel deliberately sabotages “all attempts to achieve stability in the region”. You can read more comments in this article.
Hamas: attack changes requirements in Gaza does not in a statement Hamas says that the Israeli attack on the negotiators of the Hamas delegation will not change the demands for a cease-fire in Gaza. Hamas wants, among other things, that Israeli troops withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
Furthermore, the militant movement says that in addition to Israel, they also hold the US responsible for the attack. A senior official of the White House previously told CNN that they had been informed in advance.
An ambulance is en route to the site of the Israeli attack. According to Hamas, there may have been five deaths. Earlier, the death of the son and an important employee of Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya was announced. In addition, three bodyguards would have been missing.

“In the first place, it brings out a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. It will not encourage Hamas to be flexible in the negotiations. Now it was already the question of whether those negotiations would run out, so the second consequence is perhaps even more important: the relationships in the Middle East are not getting any better.”
A camera crew from the French news agency AFP recorded the cloud of smoke, just after the explosion.
UN chef condemns the attack according to UN Chef Antonio Guterres, the attack is a clear violation of the sovereignty of Qatar. “All parties must work on a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, not destroying”.
Together with Egypt, Qatar plays an important role as a mediator in the negotiations between Hamas and Israel. Jordan also calls the attack a violation of international law. According to them, the attack is “a serious threat to the Qatarese population,” said foreign minister Ayman Safadi on X. Safadi states that the attack also endangers the safety and stability of the region. He says he is completely behind Qatar to “take every necessary step” in response to the “aggression”.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office: “Israel takes full responsibility for attack” today’s action against Hamas’s terror leaders was a completely independent operation, “said the statement on X.” Israel took the initiative, Israel has carried out it and Israel takes full responsibility “.
Earlier, Channel 12 reported on the basis of a high Israeli official that US President Trump would have given the green light for the attack. An Israeli also tells CNN that the US has been informed in advance. An official response from the White House will not be done for the time being.
Two sources within Hamas tell Reuters news agency that the negotiators of the group survived the attack in Doha.
A nu.nl reader is currently in the Qatarese capital. “For the time being I am still stuck in traffic home in Doha. A lot of police cars are driving (and people because it is rush),” says the reader. “Some roads are closed and the damage will be evaluated. Everyone is also fairly quiet.”

According to the army, the Hamas leaders would “be directly responsible” for the attacks on Israel of 7 October 2023. The army also says it has taken measures to limit civilian casualties during the attack in Qatar, including by using precision unit.

According to Israeli Channel 12, President Donald Trump has given the green light for the attack. The medium thereby quotes an Israeli authority.
