OIC: Israel's attack on Doha blatant violation of international law

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has condemned the Israeli strikes on the Qatari capital, calling them a “blatant violation of international law, UN Charter and global norms”.

“The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation once again calls on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and compel Israel to end its dangerous and ongoing aggression in the region and to respect international law and relevant UN resolutions,” the 57-country bloc said in a statement. 

Israeli air strikes hit Doha, targeting senior Hamas officials who had gathered to discuss the latest US ceasefire proposal for Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed it had carried out the strikes, saying it targeted Hamas’s senior leadership.

Hamas said that its leadership has survived Israeli air strikes, but five members of its delegation were killed, including the son of senior leader Khalil al-Hayya. 

A member of Qatar's security forces was also killed, the country's interior ministry said on Tuesday. 

Countries including Pakistan, the UAE and Turkey have condemned the attack carried out by Israel against the Hamas negotiation delegation in the Qatari capital, calling it an act of aggression and a brazen violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar.
