He also affirmed that Israel would not conduct such a strike again in the future, it said. Netanyahu expressed his support for the plan, as did eight Arab and Muslim states including Qatar, which has handed a copy to Hamas officials in Doha. However, Qatar reacted with fury, saying the strike was a "criminal assault" that constituted a "blatant violation of all international laws and norms". "As a first step, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his deep regret that Israel's missile strike against Hamas targets in Qatar unintentionally killed a Qatari serviceman," a statement said. "He further expressed regret that, in targeting Hamas leadership during hostage negotiations, Israel violated Qatari sovereignty and affirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future."
