Aoun says Israeli attack in Doha shows insistence on destroying all stability efforts

President Joseph Aoun condemned Tuesday the Israeli attack that targeted the residences of several members of Hamas’ political bureau, noting that they were “involved in negotiations to end the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and put an end to the massacres committed by Israel against the Palestinian people.”

"This brutal attack, which violated the sovereignty of a sisterly Arab nation, is part of a series of attacks perpetrated by Israel demonstrating its determination to undermine all efforts to achieve stability and security in the region and to ensure the safety of its peoples. It also underscores once again its disregard for the lives of innocent civilians, whether in Qatar or throughout the region," Aoun said in a statement.

Aoun also affirmed Lebanon's solidarity with Qatar’s emir, government and people, calling on the international community to “put an end to these Israeli practices, which continue to violate all international laws and agreements and obstruct all commendable efforts made by Qatar to achieve peace in the region and put an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people.”
