Strong Condemnation of the Attack

The Cabinet described the Israeli strike as an act of “state terrorism”, stressing that it constitutes:

• A flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty

• A serious threat to the security and safety of its citizens and residents

• A breach of international law and the UN Charter

The statement reaffirmed Qatar’s ongoing efforts to establish peace and stability in the region, adding that the timing of the attack reflects “aggressive tendencies” by the Israeli government and its disregard for international norms.

Qatar to Take Legal and Diplomatic Measures

Condolences were also extended to the families of other victims who lost their lives in the strike, as well as those injured among security personnel and civilians.

Global Support and Solidarity
