President Trump has issued an executive order declaring any armed attack on Qatar a threat to U.S. peace and security, pledging military intervention if necessary. This action follows a recent Israeli airstrike on Doha, which killed a Qatari serviceman and prompted an apology from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The order underscores Qatar's significance as host to a major U.S. military base and its status as a Major Non-NATO Ally, despite escalating regional tensions and threats from Israel.
