In public, Qatar was insisting on the right to defend itself after Iran attacked a U.S. military site in the emirate. Behind the scenes, it was already mediating a truce between Israel and Iran.

President Donald Trump said Monday that Israel and Iran have agreed to a new ceasefire agreement amid back-and-forth attacks from the two nations and on the heels of a retaliatory military strike from Iran to a U.

The head of the Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that “the campaign against Iran is not over” as a ceasefire between the two countries went into effect. President Donald Trump also vowed that Israel will not attack Iran and told Israel to bring its pilots home.
