The Qatari prime minister met with Trump in Doha after the tense attack on Hamas

US President Donald Trump attended a working dinner with the Qatari prime minister just days after Israel's attack on Hamas representatives in Doha caused diplomatic turmoil.

The incident was sharply criticized throughout the Middle East, and Trump is said to have reacted strongly during a phone call with Netanyahu.

The Qatari side then gave assurances that it would not abandon its mediating role in the peace negotiations on Gaza. According to sources in the White House, future cooperation in the area of security was also discussed.
