President Trump is said to be planning a meeting with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani in New York on Friday, after an attack that has rattled Persian Gulf states.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, the prime minister of Qatar, has said that Israel crossed a line with its strike on Tuesday in his country’s capital, Doha.
Israeli officials and analysts say that revenge for the Hamas-led 2023 attack on Israel, and frustration over moribund Gaza truce negotiations, informed the decision to strike in Doha.
Hundreds of thousands will have to decide whether to risk staying put or fleeing to ruined and overcrowded areas in the south as Israel looks set to launch an operation to take over the entire city.
