Washington Publishes Footage of Netanyahu's Apology to Doha

The White House announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has apologized to the State of Qatar for the airstrike that targeted Doha in early September, resulting in casualties and injuries, including a Qatari security personnel.

The apology came during a three-way call arranged by U.S. President Donald Trump with the Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, where Netanyahu expressed his "regret for violating Qatari sovereignty," assuring that the incident would not be repeated.

For its part, the Qatari Foreign Ministry confirmed that Tel Aviv had issued an official apology, emphasizing that Doha firmly rejects any infringement on its sovereignty, and that protecting its citizens and residents on its territory is an absolute priority.

In a statement to Al Jazeera, the Qatari Prime Minister clarified that the apology is a "legitimate right and not a favor," considering that the most important thing is the commitment to not repeat the aggressions, pointing out that Qatar is focusing at this stage on protecting its security and contributing to ending the war in the region.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Majid Al Ansari, considered that the Israeli step represents an acknowledgment of responsibility and a guarantee that violations will not be repeated in the future.
