Qatar denies it was given warning of attack

Qatar has denied a claim by the White House that the US passed on a warning of Israel’s impending attack on Doha. “The claims being circulated that the State of Qatar was informed in advance of the attack are baseless,” said Majed Al Ansari, adviser to the Prime Minister and official spokesman for Ministry of Foreign Affairs. “The call received from one of the American officials came as the sounds of explosions from the Israeli attack were already being heard in Doha,” he added.
