order<\/a>, which was published by the White House on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u201cIn the event of such an attack, the United States shall take all lawful and appropriate measures \u2014 including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military \u2014 to defend the interests of the United States and of the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability,\u201d it continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The order further directs cabinet officials to \u201cmaintain joint contingency planning\u201d with Qatar \u201cto ensure a rapid and coordinated response to any foreign aggression\u201d against the Gulf state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump signed the order on Monday, the same day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House and expressed \u201cdeep regret\u201d about the strikes during a three-way call with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, set up by the president.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the call, Netanyahu also \u201caffirmed that Israel will not conduct such an attack again in the future,\u201d\u00a0 according to a White House readout of the conversation.<\/p>\n
A Qatari security official was among the six people reported killed in the strikes, which targeted Hamas leaders as they gathered with Qatari mediators for another round of cease-fire discussions.<\/p>\nThe Qatari capital of Doha was rocked by Israeli missiles earlier this month targeting Hamas leaders in the city.

It does not specifically cite the recent Israeli strikes as the impetus for the new security guarantee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the President stated, he has assured Qatar that attacks like the recent one will not happen again on their soil,\u201d a White House official said in a statement. \u201cOn Monday, President Trump hosted a historic trilateral phone call between the Prime Ministers of Qatar and Israel, which helped to put Israel-Qatar relations on a positive track.\u201d<\/p>\n
Similar to Trump\u2019s order, NATO\u2019s Article V provision considers an attack on any member of the alliance as an attack on all members.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It requires members to defend the ally under attack, including potentially through the use of military force.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Trump secured more than $243.5 billion in deals with Qatar, including a $400 million 747 jet that the president hopes to use as a temporary replacement for Air Force One, during a March visit to the Gulf state.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
