Trump says US informed Qatar 'too late to stop the attack'

Israeli air strikes hit Doha, Qatar, targeting senior Hamas officials who were meeting to discuss a US ceasefire proposal for Gaza. US President Donald Trump stated that while the US informed Qatar of the attack, it was too late to stop it, placing the decision solely on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Trump criticized the unilateral bombing of a sovereign US ally and directed the Secretary of State to finalize a defense cooperation agreement with Qatar. The attack killed five members of the Hamas delegation and a member of Qatar's security forces, although senior Hamas leadership reportedly survived.
