"However, he said that the Israeli strike that killed six people five members of Hamas and a local Qatari security force member represented an attack on the principle of mediation itself. This attack can only be described as state terrorism, an approach pursued by the current extremist Israeli government, which flouts international law, the minister said. The reckless and treacherous Israeli aggression was committed while the state of Qatar was hosting official and public negotiations, with the knowledge of the Israeli side itself, and with the aim of achieving a ceasefire in Gaza."
"Sheikh Mohammed stressed the moment had come for consequences to Israel's attacks in the wider Middle East. It is time for the international community to stop applying double standards and punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed, Sheikh Mohammed said in footage later released by Qatar's government from the closed-door meeting. Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit separately criticized Israel and warned that silence in the face of a crime paves the way for more crimes."
Qatar's prime minister denounced Israel's strike in Doha targeting Hamas leadership and called it an attack on mediation and state terrorism. The strike killed six people, including five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer. Qatar affirmed commitment to work with Egypt and the United States toward a Gaza ceasefire despite the incident. Qatar urged international consequences and criticized perceived double standards in responses to Israeli actions. The Arab League secretary-general warned that silence enables further crimes. Israel offered no immediate response, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the strike while hosting U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
