UN Criticizes Israel's Strike on Hamas in Qatar
The UN's Human Rights Chief has condemned Israel's recent airstrike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, calling it a breach of international law. The incident has exacerbated tensions in the Gulf region and drawn condemnation from various countries, including Qatar, Algeria, and Pakistan, while the EU expressed solidarity with Qatar.
The United Nations Human Rights Chief has criticized Israel for its recent airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar. The incident, which occurred on September 9, has raised alarms over its implications for regional peace and has been deemed a violation of international law.
The airstrike reportedly killed five Hamas members, though not its leadership, and has sparked a diplomatic rift with Gulf states allied to the U.S., particularly affecting relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. Israel's absence from the Human Rights Council debate underscored its dismissal of the criticisms.
Qatar's Minister Mariam bint Ali bin Nasser Al Misnad labeled the strike as 'state terrorism' and urged accountability. Both Algeria and Pakistan condemned the attack, while the European Union aligned with Qatar. A UN Commission further reported that Israel's actions in Gaza may constitute genocide, escalating accusations against Israeli leaders.
