Netanyahu’s apology

Trump forced Benjamin Netanyahu to apologize for bombing Hamas leaders in Qatar.

For more than a week, Mr. Trump had told Mr. Netanyahu he was going to have to apologize – that even he apologized sometimes, and that it was Mr. Netanyahu’s turn to say he was sorry.

Shortly before they stood together at the White House on Sept. 29, beaming about the prospects for peace in the Middle East, Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu sat next to each other in the Oval Office. There, a stern-looking Mr. Netanyahu held a telephone receiver as he read the apology he had written himself to Qatar’s prime minister.

In a photo released by the White House, the cord from the receiver stretched to Mr. Trump’s lap, on which the phone was awkwardly perched.
