Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Thani addresses a press conference following ‘Israeli’ strikes in Doha.
Qatar says “reserves right” to respond to ‘Israeli’ attack on Doha
Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister today, Tuesday, condemned what he called a "treacherous Israeli attack" on Doha as an act of "state terrorism” – after a strike was carried out by ‘Israeli’ on a site in Doha where senior Hamas leaders gathered.
Details of the Attack and Legal Action
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani said that authorities have immediately begun handling the incident and have identified the casualties, and that Qatar “reserves the right” to respond to ‘Israel’ after the attack.
"We will not be lenient on our sovereignty and will deal firmly with any security breach," he said.
Al Thani added that a legal team has been formed to take action in response to the attack. He also revealed that the United States had notified Qatar of the attack ten minutes after it occurred.
Netanyahu and “Sabotaging Peace Efforts”
Qatar blasted ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he called "rogue" and accused of "practicing state terrorism" and leading the region to an "irreparable level."
He also claimed the attack was a message to the region that there is a "rogue player" engaged in "political arrogance."
He stated that negotiations for a ceasefire were "underway at the request of the American side" but that ‘Israel’ has "worked to sabotage every attempt to achieve peace."
The Prime Minister said that the international community, laws, and norms must "take this incident into consideration" and that a "unified response to Netanyahu's barbarism" is needed.
Al Thani said that mediated negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza are not currently ongoing, adding that the ‘Israeli’ military used weapons that were “undetectable by radars.”
