WASHINGTON — A senior Qatari official called Doha’s partnership with the US into question during a conversation with US special envoy Steve Witkoff following Israel’s strike targeting Hamas’s leaders in the Gulf country, a diplomatic source tells The Times of Israel.

The senior Qatari official pointed to both the Israeli strike yesterday and a June 2025 Iranian strike targeting a US military base in Qatar and lamented that the US has failed to protect his country, the source says, confirming a report on Channel 12.
