The United States has issued an executive order outlining its policy regarding the security of Qatar. Signed by President Donald Trump, the order stipulates that any armed attack on Qatari territory will be considered a threat to the United States. It further states that Washington will undertake lawful and appropriate measures—including diplomatic, economic, and potentially military—to defend the interests of both the United States and Qatar, and to restore peace and stability. This policy declaration follows an Israeli strike on September 9, which targeted Hamas officials in Qatar and subsequently prompted an apology from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Qatar’s prime minister. The executive order reinforces the United States’ commitment to Qatar, a key ally in the Gulf, amidst ongoing regional tensions.
