Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemns the “blatant Israeli aggression against Qatar” after an Israeli strike targeted Hamas leaders in the Gulf nation.

In a statement from his office, he says the move “constitutes a grave violation of international law and an escalation that threatens security and stability in the region.”

The statement adds that “the solution lies in a just and comprehensive peace for the Palestinian cause.”
