ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday condemned Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas officials in Doha and reaffirmed Islamabad’s support to Qatar and Palestine in the wake of Israeli “aggression.”
Qatar, which has been a key mediator in efforts to broker a truce in Gaza, said Israeli strikes targeted homes of several members of Hamas’s political bureau residing in the Gulf country, where the militant group’s senior leadership is based.
A Hamas official in Gaza told AFP the group’s negotiators had been “targeted” in Doha, though it was not immediately clear whether the attack had caused any casualties.
In a post on X, PM Sharif said they condemned the “unlawful and heinous” bombing in Doha that targeted a residential area and endangered the lives of innocent civilians.
“This act of aggression by Israel is totally unjustified, a brazen violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar and constitutes a most dangerous provocation that could imperil regional peace and stability,” he said.
