Trump does not support Israel’s attack on Qatar Iraqi News

Washington – US President Donald Trump did not agree with Israel’s choice to conduct strikes against Hamas inside US ally Qatar, the White House said Tuesday.

While eliminating Hamas was a “worthy goal,” a strike in the Qatari capital Doha “does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, reading from a statement.

“The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States, and feels very badly about the location of this attack,” she added.
