President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that “he was not enthusiastic” by the Israeli air strike on Qatar, in which Israel tried to kill the political leader of the Palestinian Islamic Hamas group.
Trump said that a unilateral event directed by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “did not progress for the goals of Israel or America”. In particular, he offered a muted pushback, but even suggested that “this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for peace”.
“It was a decision of the Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not the decision I made,” Trump said on the social media hours after the strike.
The Israeli unprecedented strike to the Qatar capital on Tuesday brought a big blow to the American efforts to normalize the custody with the Arab nations in the Gulf and perhaps crippled interviews on the Gaza.

Saudi Arabia, which the American leader is trying to join the agreements, called it “criminal act”, while Qatar described it as “an apparent violation of all international laws and standards”.
