DOHA, (The Palestinian Information Center) Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, stated on Tuesday evening that no negotiations are currently underway regarding a deal related to the war on Gaza, following an Israeli attack on Qatari territory. This comes despite active negotiations previously taking place at the request of the United States.
Speaking at a press conference, the Qatari Foreign Minister said Qatar had been subjected to a treacherous Israeli attack, stressing that Qatar will not tolerate any violation of its sovereignty and reserves the right to respond to this blatant aggression.
He revealed that the United States informed Qatar of the Israeli strike ten minutes after it occurred and confirmed that Israel used weapons undetectable by radar systems during the assault.
Sheikh Mohammed described the incident as state terrorism and a deliberate attempt to destabilize regional security and stability. He said the attack not only violated international law but also crossed all moral and ethical lines.
He further stated, “Today’s attack sends a message to the region that a rogue player is operating with political recklessness. Netanyahu is driving the region toward irreparable damage.”
The Qatari Prime Minister labelled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a rogue actor practicing state terrorism, saying the attack on Qatar could only be described as an act of betrayal.
Majed Al-Ansari, spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed that a formal message was delivered to the UN Security Council and that relevant Qatari authorities have begun deliberating on the appropriate response.
In a statement to Al Jazeera, Al-Ansari added, “Israel’s behavior is dragging the entire world to the edge of catastrophe. Netanyahu is leading Israel into rogue state status.”
He emphasized that the treacherous attack targeted Hamas’s negotiating delegation in a mediator country, proving once again that Israel is acting as a rogue state in clear violation of diplomatic norms and international law.
