Not a Spectator: America's Role in the Jewish Entity's Strike on Doha
(Translated)
News:
In September 2025, the Jewish entity bombed Doha, killing members of Hamas and a Qatari security guard. The Independent reported that Trump was furious because Netanyahu only informed him at the last minute, while sources in the Jewish entity spoke instead of a green light from Trump.

Comment:
Trump's claim that he was unaware of the Jewish attack on Doha is a false claim. The long-standing relationship and cooperation between them shows the exact opposite.
It is entirely implausible to assume that America—with its extensive military presence in Qatar and its close cooperation with the Jewish entity—was unaware of an operation of this magnitude. For decades, America and the Jewish entity have maintained an established military and political partnership. Under the memorandum of understanding that continues until 2028, the Jewish entity receives $3.8 billion annually in military aid from America. They cooperate in the development of missile defense systems such as Hitz and the Iron Dome, exchange intelligence extensively, conduct joint exercises, and maintain close technological cooperation.
In addition, Qatar hosts Al Udeid Air Base, the largest US air base in the Middle East, where thousands of US soldiers are stationed and the forward headquarters of US Central Command is located. This base is equipped with the latest radar and air defense systems in the region. The passage of an attack of this magnitude - missiles fired from warplanes over the Red Sea, penetrating Qatari airspace - undetected is implausible. If the systems had detected nothing, it would have been impossible to achieve such tactical prowess without precise knowledge of allied radar capabilities. If they detected something but did not respond, this indicates tacit approval. Questions are also raised about how Jewish aircraft carried out their mission without being detected by Saudi Arabia, which has spent billions of dollars on US radar systems and Patriot defense missiles, as these systems are specifically designed to detect and intercept ballistic threats. The lack of reaction from Qatar and Saudi Arabia reinforces the impression of coordination, or at least tacit approval, from Washington.
An operation of this size usually requires aerial refueling. The Jewish entity has its own fuel transport aircraft, but given the distance and complexity, it is highly unlikely that this mission could have been carried out entirely without US logistical support.
Netanyahu tried to portray the attack as an immediate response to the killing of his soldiers. But multiple reliable sources confirm that the operation, codenamed "Fire Summit," had been in preparation for months. Hebrew media talk about planning that took two to three months, with intensive preparations in the weeks leading up to the strike. Even Egypt, according to reports, warned Hamas leaders in advance that they might be targeted. This clearly shows that it was not a spontaneous reaction, but rather a long-term planned operation.
The picture is further complicated by conflicting accounts of America's role. According to the Wall Street Journal and The Independent, Trump was angry because Netanyahu informed him of the attack only shortly before it happened. However, the Jews insist that the operation was carried out with a green light from Trump. Whatever the correct version, both confirm the deep entanglement between them at the highest level of military and political decision-making.
This attack also fits a well-known pattern of Jewish operations whenever diplomatic opportunities or negotiations to stop the war arise, where the Jewish entity escalates through targeted assassinations; for example, the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July 2024, or the killing of Nasrallah in Beirut in September 2024. In both cases, critical political moments were deliberately undermined. The Doha attack sabotaged Qatari mediation. Similarly, in June 2025, as a new round of US-Iranian nuclear talks approached, the Jewish entity launched Operation Rising Lion with deliberate strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.
Conclusion: Everything indicates that the United States was not merely a passive spectator, but rather an accomplice to this scenario, whether through active coordination or deliberate passivity. The official denial is consistent with a familiar pattern of deception and hypocrisy followed by bloodthirsty autocratic regimes.
