Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday (September 29, 2025) apologised to Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani for a military strike targeting Hamas officials in the emirate that infuriated Arab leaders and triggered rare condemnation by the U.S. of Israel, according to two people, including a diplomatic official, familiar with the matter.
The White House said Mr. Netanyahu expressed regret for Israel violating Qatari sovereignty and “affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future.”

At home, Mr. Netanyahu's governing coalition appears more fragile than ever. And the White House is showing signs of impatience. |
