Today, Wednesday, the UN Security Council will hold an emergency session to discuss the attack by Israel on the headquarters of Hamas leaders in Doha, according to diplomatic sources.
The sources pointed out that the meeting, scheduled for (seven in the evening GMT), came at the request of Algeria and Pakistan.
Israel tried to assassinate the political leaders of Hamas in an air strike on Qatar on Tuesday, extensively extensively the scope of its military operations in the Middle East in an attack that the White House described as unilateral and does not serve American and Israeli interests.
Israel defended the attack, saying it was “completely justified”, but Qatar said it was “a hundred percent treacherous operation” and represented “state terrorism.” Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said that the raid threatens to undermine the peace efforts in which Doha plays the role of the mediator between Hamas and Israel.
US President Donald Trump said that hitting Hamas is an interesting goal, but he feels sorry. Because the attack took place in the Arab Gulf state, which is a major ally of Washington.
The attack was met with condemnation from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Emirates and the European Union, and threatens to undermine the talks aimed at the ceasefire in Gaza and Trump’s endeavors to reach an end by negotiating for about two years between Israel and Hamas.
