On Tuesday, the ruler of Qatar informed international leaders that, despite Israel’s strikes on targets in the Gulf nation, his nation was still working diplomatically to resolve the war in Gaza. Israel’s “treacherous” strike on his country, which targeted Hamas leaders in the center of a residential development in Doha where they had a liaison office, was denounced by Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani at the UN.
Qatar, Egypt, and Washington had spearheaded attempts to negotiate a complete truce between Israel and Hamas, with multiple rounds of unsuccessful negotiations held in Doha. He told the General Assembly, “This attack is not part of a legitimate right to follow perpetrators of terrorism,” in contrast to the Israeli prime minister’s allegation, and “undermines any diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the genocide against the people in Gaza.
He continued, When our adversaries find it easier to use weapons, we will engage in diplomacy.” “With Egypt and the United States, we will keep up our cooperative and partnership efforts. After Israel’s terrible military response to Hamas’ fatal October 7, 2023, strikes on Israel, in which it captured 251 hostages, Qatar became a trusted intermediary between the two sides.
