“We emphasize that the priority is an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages. The two-state solution is essential for stable peace,” stated the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a post on social media platform X.
Other European nations, including France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain, also condemned today’s bombing in Doha, which resulted in the deaths of at least six people, five from Hamas and one Qatari police officer.
The son of Hamas’s chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hajjah, and his chief of staff are among the victims, along with three bodyguards, according to the Palestinian Islamist movement. Qatar also reported the death of a police officer and several injuries among security forces.
The Israeli attack aimed at targeting senior Hamas officials involved in ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip with Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the attack was a response to Monday’s attack in Jerusalem, where two Palestinians from the occupied West Bank shot and killed six people at a bus stop.
The attack was claimed today by Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades.
The attack also comes after Israel’s Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, announced that Israel accepted a U.S. ceasefire proposal that includes the release of all Israeli hostages.
