Netanyahu apologises to Qatar over Israeli strike on Doha
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has apologised to Qatar over an Israeli strike on Doha on 9 September that killed at least one Qatari citizen.
Mr Netanyahu apologised in a joint phone call with US President Donald Trump and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Al Thani from the White House, according to US and Qatari official statements.
“As a first step, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his deep regret that Israel’s missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman,” the White House said in a statement.
“He further expressed regret that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future.”
