Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said sorry to Qatar on Monday for a strike that killed a Qatari service member and broke the country’s sovereignty. The apology came during a phone call with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, which happened while Netanyahu was meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
Trump set up the call because he wanted to fix relations between Israel and Qatar after weeks of tension following the September 9 strike. During the attack, Israeli forces went after senior Hamas leaders in Doha, killing five Hamas members and one member of Qatar’s internal security force. The strike was the first known Israeli attack on Qatari soil and brought criticism from around the world.
