""My message is that they have to be very, very careful. They have to do something about Hamas, but Qatar has been a great ally to the United States.""
""The time has come for the international community to stop using double standards and to punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed.""
""Netanyahu knows that while the White House may grumble a bit, there really is no downside to an 'ask forgiveness, not permission' approach,""
The US leader remained firm in support of Israel's military action in Gaza but became furious after Netanyahu authorised strikes on Hamas leaders in Doha. He said he was "not happy" and that the operation "does not advance Israel or America's goals." He reportedly flew into a rage, rebuked Netanyahu for not informing him, and later phoned to ask if the hit had been successful, expressing unhappiness that it had not. The Qatari prime minister called for the international community to punish Israel for its crimes. Observers said Netanyahu appears to ignore US warnings and pursue increasingly belligerent strikes, including against US allies.
