Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani regarding the assassination attempt of Hamas leadership in Doha, a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post.
The conversation between the two Middle East leaders occured during Netanyahu's meeting with Trump.
Netanyahu also apologized for the strike that killed a Qatari civilian security guard who was in the building with Hamas leaders, the White House confirmed.
In addition, Netanyahu admitted that Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not repeat such an attack, the White House statement added.
Netanyahu's apology was a prerequisite for Doha's continued involvement in hostage and ceasefire negotiations, Israeli public broadcaster KAN News reported.
The Qatari government welcomed these assurances.
They also discussed a proposal for ending the Israel-Hamas war, prospects for a more secure region, and the need for "greater understanding between their countries."
Trump praised both prime ministers for being willing to take steps toward greater cooperation.
The two leaders have never formally met or spoken directly to each other. Israel does not have formal relations with Qatar.
