Donald Trump has cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against taking an aggressive stance toward Qatar, underscoring the Gulf state’s importance as a strategic partner to Washington.

“They have to be very, very careful. They have to do something about Hamas, but Qatar has been a great ally to the United States," the US President said while talking to a reporter.

“A lot of people don’t know that," Trump said.

He went on to praise Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and said, “I told the Emir, who I think is a wonderful person, actually, I said, you need better public relations because you don’t really get the public relations."

“I mean, people talk of it so badly. And they shouldn’t be. Qatar has been a very great ally," the US President said.
