The President of the USA Donald Trump insists that Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not attack targets in Qatar again.

He will not strike against Qatar, said Trump to reporters at the White House on Monday.

It was last week that Israel dropped ten bombs over a residential area in Qatar's capital Doha, which killed several people, including five Hamas members.

After Monday's meeting with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, there were no messages that Netanyahu rules out future attacks. Donald Trump has previously emphasized that he sees Qatar as an ally to the US and the attack is said to have caused considerable irritation in Washington.

The US is at the same time a close ally to Israel, which in turn has emphasized that the attack was carried out "completely independently".

The US has, among other things, a military base in Qatar, and earlier this year, the country's regime gave a luxury plane to Donald Trump as a gift.
