The Wall Street Journal reports, citing “senior U.S. administration officials,” that U.S. President Donald Trump held a heated phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Sept. 9, following Israel’s surprise attack on Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. Trump conveyed “deep frustration at being blindsided by Israel’s strike,” the article claimed.
Trump reportedly told Netanyahu that the decision wasn’t wise, and that he was angry when he learned about it. It was particularly upsetting that it struck the territory of another U.S. ally that was currently mediating negotiations on ending the Gaza war, the officials said.
