Israel’s Strike in Qatar: A “Big Red Line Has Been Crossed”
Donald Trump says he's "not thrilled" by Israel's unprecedented strike against Hamas in the Gulf state of Qatar – a key American ally. He adds it was the lone decision of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The strike took place on Tuesday afternoon in the Qatari capital, Doha – which has hosted a Hamas political office since 2012, under a US-supported arrangement. The group says its top leaders survived, but five lower-ranking members were killed. Adham Sahloul, adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, joins DW to further discuss.
