President Donald Trump has signed an executive order providing security guarantees to Qatar, declaring any armed attack on the Gulf state as a threat to US interests. This follows September's Israeli strike on Qatari territory, after which Netanyahu issued an apology during his Washington visit. The agreement strengthens the strategic relationship between the US and Qatar, which hosts America's largest military base in the Middle East region.
