Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told U.S. President Donald Trump about Israel's plan to attack Hamas leaders in Qatar just before it happened. The White House said it was informed only after the attack began, which meant Trump couldn't stop it. Israel claims the U.S. was informed early enough to possibly prevent the strike.
