The Israeli strike on Doha has been sharply denounced by Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which has described it as a cowardly attack on Hamas and a serious violation of international rules and standards. The ministry confirmed that Qatar strongly opposes the attack.
The ministry said the bombing was directed at residential premises that housed Hamas political bureau members. It characterized the behavior as a blatant transgression of international norms and a criminal offense.
The walkout constituted a major risk to the safety of both foreign residents and Qatari nationals, the statement cautioned. Qatar stated that it will not put up with Israel’s careless behavior or any acts that endanger the security of the area.
Additional emphasis was placed by the ministry on any action intended to undermine Qatar’s national sovereignty.
