UN Security Council condemns Israeli strikes on Qatar
The United Nations Security Council condemned the latest strikes to Doha, the capital of Qatar, but did not mention Israel in a statement accepted by all 15 members, including Israel’s ally.
Israel tried to kill Hamas’s political leaders with an attack on Tuesday, and increased the military action in what the US defines as a unilateral attack that did not advance the US and Israel interests.
The United States traditionally protects allied Israel in the United Nations.
Support for the notification of the Security Council, which can only be approved by consensus, reflects the unhappiness of US President Donald Trump’s attack by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Israel’s air strikes in Doha, #Qatar, shocked the world on Tuesday. “This was an worrying climb, especially for targeting the individuals who gathered to discuss the latest offer for a ceasefire and hostage version agreement in #Gaza.
“Council members stressed the importance of the increase and expressed their solidarity with Qatar. Qatar supported the sovereignty and regional integrity of the Council.”
The Operation Doha, which is widely condemned, was particularly sensitive because Qatar hosts and intermediaries negotiations aimed at providing a ceasefire during the Gaza Strip War.
“Council members, including those killed by Hamas, the release of hostages, including those killed and the end of the war in Gaza and the end of the war is our greatest priority,” he emphasized. “
The Security Council will meet on Thursday to discuss the Israeli attack at a meeting attended by Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani.
A HAMAS official said on Thursday that the Israeli attack, which targeting its leaders, was an attempt to remove cease -fire negotiations, but the Palestinian group would not change the conditions of ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
At an address made on television, Hamas official Fawzi Barhoum said that the strike is not only an attempt to assassinate the negotiation committee, but also a deliberate blow and a clear message that rejects any cease -fire agreement.
He also added Israel of targeting Egypt’s mediation efforts.
“This attack was a clear approval that Netanyahu and the criminal gang refused to reach any agreement and insist on relieving all regional and international efforts to stop the genocide.” He said.
However, the group did not officially announce that it would close the door during future talks.
Barhoum said that the strike was targeting the group’s negotiation delegation while discussing a new ceasefire proposal given by the Prime Minister of Qatar only one day ago.
“At the time of the terrorist attack, the negotiation committee was in the process of discussing the response to the proposal,” he said.
Barhoum confirmed the basic demands of Hamas: Full ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip, prisoner change for a real prisoner, humanitarian aid and restructuring of the settler.
Netanyahu will cause all hostages to be released at once and the surrender of Hamas or forces them for any agreement.
Hamas, Hamas’ın exiled Gaza Strip Chief’s son and best negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya, including five members, including the attack, he said.
It was unclear whether al-Hayya or other senior officials participated in the funeral of those killed on strike.
However, the images distributed by Hamas showed at least two political leaders – Osama Hamdan and Izzat Al -Rishq.
According to Qatar state media, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani attended the funeral of Qatar.
