For those who are interested......following is the transcript of the note that Bibi read on the phone to the Emir of Qatar:
Mr. Prime Minister, I want you to know that Israel regrets that one of your citizens was killed in our strike.
I want to assure you that Israel was targeting Hamas, not Qataris.
I also want to assure you that Israel has no plan to violate your sovereignty again in the future, and I have made that commitment to the president.
I know your leadership has grievances against Israel and Israel has grievances against Qatar, from support for the Muslim Brotherhood to how Israel is portrayed on Al Jazeera to support for anti Israel sentiment on collage campuses.
I welcome the President's idea to establish a trilateral group to address both our countries outstanding grievances."
I think he threaded that needle brilliantly. Note that he did not commit to never again attacking Qatar (as was reported in MSM) but stated that Israel has no plans to do so in the future.
Eli Sharabi, what a hero and a voice for the so many who still remain in the tunnels of hell. To hear his story of survival and loss is so important and so special. His optimism and love for life shows the true spirit of Israelis, of Jews… May all the remaining hostages be returned and released in to the loving arms of their families. 🙏💙🇮🇱
Thank you Vivian for all of your hard work and everything you cover.
