GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC -Guyana has joined the chorus of international condemnation against Israel’s unprecedented attack on senior Hamas figures in Qatar on Tuesday, saying the action “does not help the cause in ending the war in Gaza nor of achieving lasting peace in the Middle East”.
At least six people were killed in the area where the attack took place, described as a residential area in Doha where many people live, which is also surrounded by many embassies and consulates. Palestine negotiators were meeting to discuss the latest attempt at a ceasefire.
The international community is calling on all parties to the war in the Middle East to return to the negotiating table, stating that force cannot bring peace and that dialogue and negotiation are the fundamental solution to this war.
“The Government of Guyana joins the international community in condemning the unilateral bombing by the Israel Defence Force in Doha, Qatar, approximately one mile from the Guyana Embassy. This violent act is a flagrant violation of international law and a direct assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar,” Georgetown said in a statement.
“Guyana strongly believes that the unilateral military strike in Qatar does not help the cause in ending the war in Gaza nor of achieving lasting peace in the Middle East,” it said, noting that the State of Qatar has been a consistent ally in fighting terrorism and has been instrumental in working closely with the United States and Egypt to bring about a diplomatic solution to the war in Gaza.
“We therefore stand in full solidarity with the Amir and people of the State of Qatar. Guyana urges full respect for international law and support for allies working to end the war in Gaza and combating global terrorism.”
