US President Donald Trump says Israel must be “very careful” about how it handles Qatar.
At Morristown Airport in New Jersey, Trump is asked by a reporter whether he has a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding last week’s Israeli strikes on Hamas leaders in Qatar, which appear to have failed to take them out.
“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,” Trump answers.
After dining with Doha’s ruler Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on Friday, the US president calls him a “wonderful person” and adds that he has told him Qatar needs “better public relations” since “people talk of it so badly, and they shouldn’t be.”

Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
