Trump tells Netanyahu to be careful attacking 'very great US ally Qatar'

US President Donald Trump has said that 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. 
Meanwhile,Qatar’s prime minister accused Israel of “state terrorism,” and said its attack in Doha last week targeting Hamas’s leaders was “an attack on the principle of mediation itself,” but nevertheless vowed to continue efforts to reach a ceasefire. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, who is also Qatar’s foreign minister, made the remarks at a preparatory session on Sunday for the emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha, which was called for Monday in the wake of last week’s bombing. Israel has defended the September 9 strike, even as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted that it was not successful.
The draft resolution that emerged from Sunday’s meeting, which was seen by Reuters, did not mention any diplomatic or economic moves against Israel, but warned that its activity threatens the normalization of ties. The resolution may change before the leaders meet in Doha on Monday.
