Qatar’s Prime Minister Says Israeli Strike on Doha “Killed Any Hope” for Hostages

HeadlineSep 11, 2025

Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani said Wednesday that the Israeli strike on Qatar “killed any hope” for the hostages in Gaza. Speaking with CNN, he also called the deadly strike that killed six people Tuesday an “act of state terror” and said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “needs to be brought to justice.” 

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that President Trump had a tense phone call with Netanyahu about the attack on Qatar. Trump reportedly told Netanyahu that the decision to target Hamas leaders in Qatar wasn’t wise and that he was angry that he learned about the attack from the U.S. military instead of Israel.
