Doha Strike Fallout Deepens: Trump Privately Rails at Netanyahu as Arab, Islamic Bloc Urges Review of Israel Ties

A Rubio visit for damage control follows reports the U.S. received only minutes’ notice before the Qatar strike.

Overview

  • Israel’s Sept. 9 strike in Doha killed six people, including a Qatari security officer, while senior Hamas leaders reportedly survived.
  • U.S. officials say Israel provided a last‑minute, detail‑free notification, a point Israeli officials dispute.
  • President Donald Trump privately vented that Netanyahu is “f**king me,” according to reports, yet the White House has avoided a public rupture.
  • Arab and Islamic states meeting in Doha urged countries to review diplomatic and economic ties with Israel and consider legal steps, following a UN Security Council rebuke.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Israel and Qatar to contain the fallout and to reaffirm U.S. support for Qatar’s security and ongoing mediation efforts.
