US joins UN Security Council condemnation of Israeli strikes on Qatar
The United Nations Security Council has condemned Israel’s strikes on a residential compound in the Qatari capital Doha, which targeted senior members of Hamas.
The statement – which did not directly name Israel – was backed by all 15 Security Council members, including the US, which traditionally blocks actions against its close ally.
“Council members underscored the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar,” read the statement, drafted by the UK and France. Israel defended its decision to mount the attack.
Qatar has played a key role in brokering diplomatic efforts to end the Israel-Gaza war, serving as a mediator of indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel.
