    Qatar joins Hamas in accusing Israel of violating ceasefire

    Qatar’s Emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, claimed this morning that Qatar’s sovereignty was violated twice - first by Iran and then by Israel.

    In a speech opening the parliamentary session in Doha, Al Thani said that in the second attack, attributed to Israel, members of the Hamas delegation to the ceasefire negotiations were injured in a residential neighborhood.

    He stated that Israel had violated all principles of international law by acting against a mediating state and called the attack “state terrorism.” Emir Al Thani sharply criticized Israel and accused it of breaching the Gaza ceasefire, without mentioning Hamas.
