According to an Israeli public broadcaster quoted by the Israeli Times on September 29, an Israeli official revealed that the Israeli side has expressed its willingness to pay compensation to the families of Qatari security personnel killed in the air strikes in the capital Doha.

In 2016, Israel paid $20 million to Turkey to compensate families of victims of the Turkish rescue ship "Blue Marmara" disaster six years ago, which is part of the bilateral normalization agreement signed between the two countries.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on September 29 apologized to the Qatari side for the attacks in Qatar, which Israeli senior security officials were surprised by and said they had not received any prior notification.

The Prime Minister's Office has not yet responded to the information.

Qatar is one of the main intermediaries in Israeli and Hamas talks on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Israeli airstrikes on the leadership of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Doha on September 9. Hamas said that when the airstrikes occurred, Hamas negotiating delegations were discussing a ceasefire proposed by the United States. Five Palestinians and one Qatari security personnel were killed in the attacks.

Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on September 29th that Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed had a telephone conversation with US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the same day. During the call, Netanyahu apologized for the Israeli air strike against Doha, the capital of Qatar. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also said in a statement that Netanyahu apologized for violating Qatar's sovereignty and promised not to launch any attacks against Qatar's territory in the future. Israeli media recently quoted sources as saying that Qatar regards Israel's apology as a prerequisite for resuming mediation of the conflict in the Gaza Strip.
