Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry says it ‘condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the brutal Israeli aggression’.
An Israeli attack in Qatar’s capital, Doha, targeting Hamas officials has drawn swift condemnation from across the region and beyond with the UN chief calling the air strikes a “flagrant violation” of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed that the Israeli military carried out the attack in Doha on Tuesday against Hamas leaders.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned “in the strongest terms the cowardly Israeli attack”.
