It’s just being reported by the Associated Press that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu called the Prime Minister of Qatar to express regret for the strike targeting Hamas officials in Doha.

They are reporting that he made this call while meeting with President Trump:

Netanyahu on Monday apologized 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 US of Israel, according to two people, including a diplomatic official, familiar with the matter.

Netanyahu called al Thani to extend the apology during his White House meeting on Monday with President Donald Trump. The people familiar spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

Wow. I know President Trump was unhappy about the strike, but I have a hard time believing this is entirely true. I’m sure this will be asked about in the press conference Trump and Bibi are about to hold, which we are carrying live.

 
UPDATE: The White House confirms:

Today, President Donald J. Trump hosted a trilateral phone call with His Excellency Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and His Excellency Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani of Qatar.

The President expressed his desire to put Israeli-Qatar relations on a positive track after years of mutual grievances and miscommunications.

The leaders accepted the president’s proposal to establish a trilateral mechanism to enhance coordination, improve communication, resolve mutual grievances, and strengthen collective efforts to prevent threats. They underscored their shared commitment to working together constructively and clearing away misperceptions, while building on the longstanding ties both have with the United States.

As a first step, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his deep regret that Israel’s missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman.

He further expressed regret that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future.

Prime Minister Al Thani welcomed these assurances, emphasizing Qatar’s readiness to continue contributing meaningfully to regional security and stability. Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed commitment to the same.

The leaders discussed a proposal for ending the war in Gaza, prospects for a more secure Middle East, and the need for greater understanding between their countries.

President Trump praised both leaders for their willingness to take steps toward greater cooperation in the interest of peace and security for all.

 
UPDATE 2: I corrected the language I used. From the readout, he didn’t actually apologize for the strike, but expressed regret for killing a Qatari serviceman and violating Qatari sovereignty. The earlier characterizations by the Associated Press were not accurate.
