Qatar tells the United Nations Security Council that it will “not tolerate this reckless Israeli behavior and the ongoing disruption of regional security” after Israel carried out an attack targeting Hamas leaders in Doha.

“The State of Qatar strongly condemns this cowardly criminal assault, which constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms,” Qatar’s UN Ambassador Alya Ahmed Saif Al-Thani writes to the council in a letter seen by Reuters.

“Investigations are underway at the highest level, and further details will be announced as soon as they are available,” she adds, describing the Israeli attack as a “serious escalation.”
