The statement was as follows:

The State of Qatar condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation’s bombing of the headquarters of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza and considers it a blatant violation of international law and an extension of the occupation’s approach to targeting civilians and civilian objects, which also included hospitals, schools, population centres, and shelters for the displaced.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms that the bombing of the headquarters of the Qatari Committee for the Reconstruction of Gaza is an extension of the policy of targeting people, especially since this committee worked through its projects to alleviate the suffering of the population in the Gaza Strip, which is in crisis due to the long siege and continuing aggression.

The Ministry stresses the need for the international community to move urgently to hold Israel accountable for its repeated crimes against civilians and civilian objects and to oblige it to comply with international laws. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also calls on the Israeli occupation to stop providing flimsy justifications for targeting civilian objects, health facilities, and civilians and to use misleading information and stresses that this cannot be accepted under any consideration as a pretext for targeting the headquarters of the committee that has been concerned with the reconstruction What the occupation destroyed in its repeated wars on the Gaza Strip.
