Soooooo.....Israel didn't inform Donny of the coming attack...or is he just lying as usual?

The White House on Tuesday issued a sharp rebuke of Israel’s strike in Doha and assured Qatari leadership that such an action would never happen again.

“Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States, that is working very hard, and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said from the White House briefing room.

The comments, made hours after Israel said it carried out the strike in Doha against Hamas leadership there, is an escalation of President Donald Trump’s increasingly fraught relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Leavitt added that while eliminating Hamas “is a worthy goal,” the president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States, and feels very badly about the location of this attack.”
