WASHINGTON - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed regret for an Israeli attack in Doha to Qatar’s leader on Sept 29 in a three-way call with US President Donald Trump, the White House said.
The White House said Mr Netanyahu also expressed regret for Israel violating Qatari sovereignty and “affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future”.
“The leaders discussed a proposal for ending the war in Gaza, prospects for a more secure Middle East, and the need for greater understanding between their countries,” the White House said before a news conference with Mr Trump and the Israeli prime minister.
