"This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, adding that he wants the Gaza war to "END, NOW!"

“This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar,” Trump said in his post, without revealing details of how the US military knew of the strike.

The strike “does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” Trump said. “However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal.”

Trump adds he directed US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform Qatar of the attack. However, it was “unfortunately too late to stop the attack,” according to his statement on Truth Social.
