Trump advisers vent anger over how Israel conducted strike in Qatar
WASHINGTON — Some advisers to President Donald Trump are angry over Israel’s decision to strike Hamas leaders inside Doha, Qatar Tuesday morning, with many particularly frustrated that they weren’t able to weigh in or warn the Qataris.Trump was informed of the strike only shortly before it began — and not by Israel itself, but by Chairman of the Joint Staff Gen.
