Netanyahu, who is being hosted at the White House by US President Donald Trump, spoke to Al Thani over a phone call for several minutes, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.

Netanyahu reportedly apologised to Al Thani for violating Qatar’s sovereignty in the September 9 strike on Doha, expressing regret over the killing of a Qatari security guard in the attack.

The apology gains significance against the backdrop of Netanyahu’s meeting with Trump amid the ongoing effort to finalise a peace deal to end the war in Gaza and release the hostages held by Hamas.

Since the Israeli strike, Qatar had been refusing to mediate negotiations with Hamas.

Meanwhile, a Qatari technical team is also present at the White House, Reuters reported, citing a source briefed on the talks between the US President and Israeli PM.
