The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has strongly condemned the recent Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, Qatar. The attack, which resulted in the death of a top Hamas officer, has sparked widespread outrage across Gulf countries.
Response from the UAE and Gulf Nations
The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its deepest condolences to Qatar and wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the strike. Other Gulf nations, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan, also contacted Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim to condemn the strike, describing it as a “cowardly” and “criminal act” that violates international laws and Qatar’s sovereignty.
Details of the Israeli Strike
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that he ordered the strikes in retaliation for a recent shooting attack in Jerusalem, claimed by Hamas, which resulted in six casualties. The operation targeted senior Hamas leaders, including Khalil Al-Hayya, a prominent figure in the organization following the death of the previous Gaza leader last year.
Regional Impact and Responses
Despite rising tensions and security concerns, flights between the UAE and Qatar continue to operate normally, with no disruptions reported by UAE and Qatari carriers. Authorities in Qatar have assured the public that the situation remains safe and urged citizens to rely only on official sources for information.
While the Israeli military stated that the strike aimed to prevent further attacks by targeting senior Hamas figures, Gulf states perceive the action as a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.
