Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations are increasingly viewing Israel as a more immediate strategic threat compared to Iran, according to Trita Parsi, Executive Vice President of the Quincy Institute and a leading expert on US-Iranian relations and Middle East geopolitics
French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday held a telephonic conversation with US President Donald Trump, where the two leaders discussed current geopolitical developments in Russia following the drone incursions and the Israeli strikes into Qatar.
Speaking at a media briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration was informed of the operation only on the morning of the strike.
"We have seen reports about the Israeli strikes in Doha earlier today. We are deeply concerned by this development and its impact on the security situation in the region. We strongly urge restraint and diplomacy, so that peace and security in the region is not endangered," the MEA said in
