“Qatar has played a positive role in achieving a ceasefire and the release of all hostages,” Guterres wrote, adding that “everyone must work towards achieving a permanent ceasefire, not destroying it.”
Israel claimed the attack in Doha was intended to target senior Hamas leaders who were gathered to discuss the latest US ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
According to media reports, approximately 12 Israeli airstrikes hit a residential building. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office indicated that the country acted unilaterally in its Doha attack. []
