Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Monday, 29 September 2025) in a phone call with the Qatari Prime Minister:

“Mr. Prime Minister, I want you to know that Israel regrets that one of your citizens was killed in our strike.

I want to assure you that Israel was targeting Hamas, not Qataris.

I also want to assure you that Israel has no plan to violate your sovereignty again in the future, and I have made that commitment to the president.

I know your leadership has grievances against Israel and Israel has grievances against Qatar, from support for the Muslim Brotherhood to how Israel is portrayed on Al Jazeera to support for anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses.

I welcome the President’s idea to establish a trilateral group to address both our countries’ outstanding grievances.”
