Скачать или смотреть White House says Trump believes the Israeli attack on Hamas in Qatar doesn't advance peace

President Donald Trump believes the Israeli attack on Hamas in Qatar was an “unfortunate incident” that didn’t advance peace in the region, according to the White House.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt also told reporters that the U.S. received prior notice about the pending attack from Israel. In response, diplomatic envoy Steve Witkoff passed along a warning to the Qataris.

Trump spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the attack, Leavitt said, and “made his thoughts and concerns very clear.”

Israel struck the headquarters of Hamas' political leadership in Qatar on Tuesday as the group's top figures gathered to consider a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. The strike on the territory of a U.S. ally marked a stunning escalation and risked upending talks aimed at winding down the war and freeing hostages.

The attack angered Qatar, an energy-rich Gulf nation hosting thousands of American troops that has served as a key mediator between Israel and Hamas throughout the 23-month-old war and even before. It condemned what it referred to as a “flagrant violation of all international laws and norms" as smoke rose over its capital, Doha.

The United States said Israel alerted it before the strike. But American officials sought to distance the U.S. from the attack.

Hamas said in a statement its top leaders survived the strike but that five lower-level members were killed, including the son of Khalil al-Hayya — Hamas' leader for Gaza and its top negotiator — and the head of al-Hayya's office. Hamas, which has sometimes only confirmed the assassination of its leaders months later, offered no immediate proof that al-Hayya and other senior figures had survived.

A member of Qatar’s Internal Security Force was also killed and others were wounded, Qatar's Interior Ministry said.
