Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed regret for an Israeli attack in Doha to Qatar's Prime Minister on Monday in a three-way call with US President Donald Trump.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry said that Netanyahu also expressed regret for Israel violating Qatar's sovereignty and assured that it will not conduct such an attack again in the future.

Trump hosted Netanyahu for talks on Monday to press him to back a Gaza peace proposal aimed at ending a nearly two-year-old war that has seen Israel face growing international isolation.

"The leaders discussed a proposal for ending the war in Gaza, prospects for a more secure Middle East, and the need for greater understanding between their countries," the White House said before a news conference with Trump and the Israeli prime minister.
