Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized by phone to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani for an airstrike conducted by Israel on September 9 in Doha. The airstrike resulted in the deaths of a Qatari security officer and several Hamas members.
The call was made from the White House during a meeting between Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, who participated in the conversation. Sources indicate that the apology aims to revive stalled negotiations regarding a ceasefire in Gaza. Following the airstrike, Qatar had suspended its mediation efforts, stating that an apology was necessary to resume discussions on hostage releases and demilitarization.
