A White House photograph sparked debate about whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu read from a prepared script while apologizing to Qatar. The stark black-and-white image shows U.S. President Donald Trump holding a phone on Monday as Netanyahu appears to follow written text in the Oval Office.

The call connected Netanyahu with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at Trump's demand. Netanyahu expressed deep regret for a Sept. 9 airstrike in Doha that killed five people, acknowledged the sovereignty breach, and pledged no recurrence.

Trump labeled the strike unwise after Netanyahu acted without advance notice. Qatar had withdrawn from mediating ceasefire talks following the attack, which it condemned as a violation of international law.

Trump signed an executive order declaring any armed attack on Qatar a threat to American security. The directive authorizes diplomatic, economic, and military measures to defend both nations and restore regional stability.
