Trumps Speaks Twice with Netanyahu after Israeli Strike on Qatar
(Wall Street Journal) Alexander Ward - President Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in a call on Tuesday that the decision to target Hamas political leaders in Doha, Qatar, wasn't wise. He was angry to learn about the attack as it was occurring from the U.S. military, rather than from Israel, senior U.S. administration officials said. Netanyahu responded that he had a brief window to launch the strikes and took the opportunity. A second call was more cordial, officials said, as Trump asked Netanyahu if the attack had proven successful. He also emphasized his support for Israel's military campaign to defeat Hamas, the officials said, including a renewed Israeli assault on Gaza City.
