\n Islamabad
\nPakistan, in coordination with Algeria and Somalia, has formally called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to address the situation following Israeli airstrikes in Qatar. Taking to X, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated: \u201cIn view of the unprovoked illegal Israeli aggression against the brotherly State of Qatar, Pakistan, along with Algeria and Somalia, has requested an Emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council, to discuss the situation and seize itself of this grave matter.\u201d
\nHe further stated Pakistan\u2019s unwavering diplomatic support for Qatar, saying: \u201cPakistan expresses its complete solidarity and firm support with the Government and brotherly people of Qatar.\u201d
\nEarlier on Wednesday, Pakistan strongly condemned Israeli aggression against Qatar on Wednesday, terming it a violation of sovereignty and international law.
\nIn a statement, the Foreign Office said the \u201cprovocative and reckless\u201d action violated the UN Charter and established norms of interstate relations. The statement reaffirmed Pakistan\u2019s solidarity with the State of Qatar against what it called \u201cunprovoked and unlawful aggression.\u201d
\nOn Tuesday, Israel launched an airstrike in Doha targeting Hamas leaders, killing five members, including the son of senior negotiator Khalil al-Hayya. Qatar said a security officer was also killed.
\nIsrael said the attack was in response to a Hamas-claimed shooting in Jerusalem that left six dead. Hamas confirmed top negotiators survived.
\nThe White House criticised Israel\u2019s decision to strike inside Qatar, a key US ally, though it called targeting Hamas a \u201cworthy goal.\u201d President Trump assured Qatar such action would not recur. Qatar condemned the attack as a violation of sovereignty and vowed to continue mediating Gaza ceasefire talks.
\nBritain, France, Germany, and the EU condemned the attack, calling them unacceptable and dangerous. Pakistan\u2019s PM Shehbaz Sharif also denounced the attack as unlawful and a threat to regional peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
