❗️Trump felt ‘Israelis were getting a little bit out of control’ after Doha strike, Kushner says
US President Donald Trump believed “the Israelis were getting a little bit out of control” following Israel’s failed 9 September strike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, his son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner said in remarks aired Friday.
The comment was made during a joint interview with US special envoy Steve Witkoff on CBS’s 60 Minutes, set to air on Sunday.
“It had a metastasizing effect because the Qataris were critical to the negotiation, as were the Egyptians and the Turks,” Witkoff said. “We had lost the confidence of the Qataris. And so Hamas went underground, and it was very, very difficult to get to them.”
Kushner said that the incident made Trump conclude “that it was time to be very strong and stop them from doing things that he felt were not in their long-term interests.”
