Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met US President Donald Trump in New York after Israel’s strike on Doha killed a Qatari security officer and five Hamas members. The group had been discussing Trump’s proposed Gaza ceasefire plan, Al Jazeera reported.

Before the dinner meeting, Sheikh Mohammed spoke with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the attack and US-Qatar security ties. Washington considers Qatar, host of the Al Udeid airbase, a key Gulf partner.

Trump said he was “very unhappy” with Israel’s move, calling it an attempt to derail ceasefire talks. According to Al Jazeera, his meeting with Sheikh Mohammed is expected to focus on the strike and ways to push forward efforts to end the Gaza war.
