U.N. Security Council Condemns Israeli Strike on Qatar
New York, Sept. 11 – The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency meeting Thursday night following Israel’s airstrike on Doha, Qatar, that killed several people, including Hamas representatives and a Qatari security officer.
Strong Condemnation
Council members issued a press statement condemning the attack and stressing the need to de-escalate tensions while reaffirming support for Qatar’s sovereignty. The statement also expressed deep regret over civilian casualties and underlined Qatar’s crucial role in mediating efforts to end the Gaza war alongside Egypt and the United States.
Member States’ Reactions
U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo said the strike shocked the world, calling it a dangerous escalation and a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty.
Britain’s Ambassador Barbara Woodward denounced the strike as a blatant breach of international law, voicing full solidarity with Doha.
France’s Ambassador Jérôme Bonnafont condemned the attack and praised Qatar’s mediation efforts.
China’s Ambassador Fu Cong said targeting Hamas representatives in Doha was malicious and irresponsible, aimed at sabotaging peace talks.
Russia’s Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya warned of “serious consequences,” noting the bombs fell just 600 meters from Russia’s diplomatic mission.
The United States, through Acting Ambassador Dorothy Shea, acknowledged the strike “does not serve U.S. or Israeli goals.” Shea relayed President Trump’s assurances to Qatar’s emir and foreign minister that such incidents would not be repeated.
Arab and Regional Voices
Turkey called the strike “state terrorism.”
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi labeled Israel a “rogue government” bent on fueling violence.
Kuwait said the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will not tolerate threats to regional security.
The UAE issued its strongest condemnation, pledging full support to Qatar.
Egypt, Algeria, Pakistan, Somalia and others echoed that Israel’s attack undermined peace efforts and proved it seeks war, not resolution.
Broader Impact
The strike on Doha comes just as mediators push for a Gaza cease-fire. Many diplomats accused Israel of deliberately undermining those negotiations. Analysts say the assault risks widening the conflict beyond Gaza, pulling Qatar—a key mediator—into direct confrontation.
Council Statement
While the joint press release did not explicitly name Israel, it condemned the Doha attack, urged restraint, and reaffirmed the priority of ending the Gaza war and the suffering of civilians.
