**Arabian Sea_Agence France-Presse:** **U.S. President Donald Trump said yesterday that Israel must be careful after the strikes targeting Hamas officials in Qatar. He added to reporters: "Qatar is a very great ally. So Israel and others have to be careful. When we attack people, we have to be careful."** **Trump had initially criticized Israel for the unprecedented strike it launched on Doha on Tuesday, while negotiators were working to reach a truce in Gaza. However, U.S. diplomats affirmed that the attack would not affect relations with Israel.** **The bombing sparked widespread condemnation, especially from wealthy Gulf states allied with the United States. In a speech during a preparatory meeting for an Arab-Islamic summit scheduled in Doha on Monday, the Qatari Prime Minister called on the international community to stop "double standards" and punish Israel for its "crimes."** **The raids resulted in the death of five Hamas members and one member of the Qatari security forces. Qatar hosts the largest U.S. military base in the region and plays a mediating role in the war between Israel and Hamas alongside the United States and Egypt.**
