US President Donald Trump held dinner with the Qatari prime minister in New York on Friday, days after US ally Israel attacked<\/a> Hamas leaders in Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel attempted to kill the political leaders of Hamas with an attack in Qatar on Tuesday, a strike that risked derailing US-backed efforts<\/a> to broker a truce in Gaza and end the nearly two-year-old conflict<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack was widely condemned<\/a> in the Middle East and beyond as an act that could escalate tensions in a region already on edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump expressed annoyance about the strike in a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and sought to assure the Qataris that such attacks would not happen again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani were joined by a top Trump adviser, US special envoy Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGreat dinner with POTUS. Just ended,\u201d Qatar\u2019s deputy chief of mission, Hamah Al-Muftah, said<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House confirmed the dinner had taken place but offered no details. The session followed an hour-long meeting that al-Thani had at the White House on Friday with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A source briefed on the meeting said they discussed Qatar\u2019s future as a mediator in the region and defence cooperation in the wake of the Israeli strikes against Hamas in Doha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said he was unhappy with Israel\u2019s strike, which he described as a unilateral action that did not advance US or Israeli interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington counts Qatar as a strong Gulf ally. Qatar has been a main mediator<\/a> in long-running negotiations for a ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas in Gaza, for the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza and for a post-conflict plan for the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al-Thani blamed Israel on Tuesday for trying to sabotage chances for peace but said Qatar would not be deterred from its role as mediator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel\u2019s assault on Gaza since October 2023 has killed over 64,000 people, according to Palestinian health officials, while internally displacing almost all of Gaza\u2019s population and setting off a starvation crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple rights experts and scholars say Israel\u2019s military assault on Gaza amounts to genocide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel has rejected that determination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It launched its latest and ongoing offensive in Gaza after an attack by Hamas in which 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies. Israel has also bombed Lebanon<\/a>, Syria<\/a>, Iran<\/a> and Yemen<\/a> in the course of the Gaza conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
