The White House knew Israel planned to attack Qatar before it happened.

The claim that the White House knew about Israel's planned attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar before it happened is supported by several independent and reputable news outlets. Multiple sources, including ABC News, CNN, The Guardian, CNBC, and the Daily Mail, report that U.S. Officials were informed ahead of the Israeli airstrikes targeting senior Hamas figures in Doha. A White House official explicitly confirmed to various media that the Trump administration was notified prior to the operation.abc.net.auabc.net.auQatar strikes live: Blasts heard in Doha after Israel carries out attacks on...cnn.comcnn.comIsrael carries out attack in Qatar targeting Hamas leaders, Israeli source says...+3 more

Additionally, The Jerusalem Post cites Israeli officials stating that the U.S. Not only knew about but also approved the attack.jpost.comjpost.comUS officials greenlight Qatar operation This suggests a level of U.S. Involvement or at least consent regarding the timing and execution of the strike.

However, one source (The Times of Israel) discusses U.S. Notifications to regional allies about an Israeli strike on Iran rather than Qatar, which is a related but distinct event.timesofisrael.comtimesofisrael.comUS gave Qatar, other regional allies heads up on Israel's planned attack on Iran This does not contradict the main claim but highlights that U.S. Notifications of Israeli military actions are part of broader regional communications.

In summary, the preponderance of evidence from multiple high-quality sources supports that the White House was indeed aware of Israel's planned attack on Hamas in Qatar before it occurred. There is no credible evidence contradicting this notification claim, though details about the extent of U.S. Involvement beyond notification remain less clear.
