US President Donald Trump reportedly advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against striking Hamas within Qatar, citing potential repercussions on regional stability.

According to the Wall Street Journal, during a heated phone call on Tuesday, Trump expressed his disapproval of the decision, suggesting it was not wise.

Netanyahu defended his actions by stating he had only a brief window to launch these strikes and seized that opportunity.

A second call later in the day reportedly maintained a cordial tone, with Trump inquiring about the success of the operation.

Trump's concerns over the Israeli military strike on Doha were further emphasized in a video address, where he expressed his dissatisfaction: "I'm not thrilled...

We want to have the hostages back, but we are not thrilled with the way that went down".

The attack was conducted while considering a US-proposed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Israel targeted Hamas leadership in Qatar, believing it would impact ongoing conflict dynamics.
