The Guyana Government has joined in the condemnation of Israel’s bombing of Doha, Qatar. In a statement on Tuesday, the government said it joined the international community in condemning the unilateral bombing by Israel Defence Force in Doha, Qatar approximately one mile from Guyana’s Embassy.
According to international news reports the attack carried out by Israel targeted senior Hamas Leaders.
The Guyana Government in its statement said the violence is a flagrant violation of international law and a direct assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar.
Guyana said it strongly believed that the unilateral military strike in Qatar does not help the cause in ending the war in Gaza nor of achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
The State of Qatar has been a consistent ally in fighting terrorism and has been instrumental in working closely with the United States and Egypt to bring about a diplomatic solution to the war in Gaza. As such, Guyana said it stands in full solidarity with the Amir and people of the State of Qatar.
According to the NBC News out of the United States, Hamas Leadership escaped the attack, however the son of the leaders and his office director lost their lives in the attack.
The leaders had gathered in Qatar to discuss President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza when the bombings occurred.
NBC reported that the Israel Defence Force and the Shin Bet International agency said that they had carried out “a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organisation.”
