WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Israel's decision to strike Qatar was made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and not by the Republican leader.

"Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals," Trump wrote on social media.

"However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal."
