The White House has announced that U.S. President Donald Trump will hold a dinner tonight (U.S. time) with Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Thani. The dinner, which will take place at the American president's New Jersey estate, comes against the backdrop of the Israeli strike in Doha earlier this week, which targeted Hamas' political leadership. Steve Whitcoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, is also expected to attend the dinner.
