DOHA: Qatar’s prime minister warned his country reserved the right to respond to Israel’s deadly attack on Hamas in Doha on Tuesday, calling it a “pivotal moment” for the region.
“Qatar... reserves the right to respond to this blatant attack,” Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani told a press conference on Tuesday evening.
“We believe that today we have reached a pivotal moment. There must be a response from the entire region to such barbaric actions,” he added.
The premier said Qatar will continue trying to mediate a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza despite Israel’s attack on a Hamas compound in Doha.
“Nothing will deter us from continuing this mediation in the region,” Sheikh Mohammed told reporters.
