“Israel Will Not Strike Qatar Again”: President Trump

Washington D.C. – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that Israel will not carry out another attack on Qatar, calling the Gulf nation “a key American ally.”

Speaking to media representatives at the White House, Trump emphasized Qatar’s strategic importance to the United States and ruled out any further Israeli aggression toward the country.

“Qatar is our ally. Israel will not attack Qatar again,” Trump said firmly during the press briefing.

Addressing the escalating Middle East tensions, Trump also referred to the situation involving the Palestinian group Hamas. “Hamas has said they will kill hostages,” he noted, calling it a deeply troubling development.

Shifting focus to domestic security, Trump announced that the National Guard will be deployed in phases across violence-hit U.S. cities such as Chicago and New Orleans, citing growing concerns over law and order.

He further disclosed a second U.S. airstrike in Venezuela, claiming that three terrorists were killed while attempting to smuggle narcotics. “No American forces were harmed in the operation,” he confirmed, adding that the strike was part of an ongoing effort to crack down on international drug trafficking networks targeting the United States.

Earlier, Trump had warned Hamas not to use hostages as human shields, stressing that such actions would carry serious consequences. “Hamas leaders know very well the gravity of such decisions,” he stated.

The remarks come amid heightened global scrutiny of the Israel-Gaza conflict and rising diplomatic tensions following Israel’s recent strike on Qatari soil—an act that shocked much of the international community.
