Overview

• All 15 council members backed a press statement denouncing the strike in Qatar without naming Israel, a move that falls short of a formal resolution and leaves no official record.
• The United States joined the statement despite its traditional defense of Israel, reflecting public displeasure with how the operation was handled.
• CNN reported that Israel intentionally held back advance notice to Washington out of concern information could be relayed to Qatar and then to Hamas.
• President Trump conveyed deep anger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a Sept. 9 call, and Netanyahu said he acted on a narrow window of opportunity, according to U.S. media accounts.
• A Hamas spokesman labeled the attack an assault on ceasefire talks, saying negotiator Khalil al‑Hayya’s home was targeted, with his son and aides killed and relatives wounded, as Doha held funerals attended by Emir Tamim.
