Malaysia condemns in the strongest possible terms the Israeli airstrikes on Doha.

This wanton act of aggression is a blatant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and a grave breach of international law.

It recklessly endangers civilian lives, strikes at the very heart of a sovereign capital, and threatens to inflame an already fragile region.

By targeting Qatar—a nation central to mediation and dialogue in the Middle East —Israel has shown utter contempt for peace and diplomacy. Such an assault is indefensible and intolerable.

Malaysia stands in full solidarity with Qatar and calls on the international community to hold Israel accountable for this outrageous aggression.
