The United Nations Security Council is set to convene an emergency session on Wednesday to address recent Israeli strikes on a residential compound in Doha, which targeted members of Hamas's political bureau.
UN diplomatic sources indicate that Council members will receive a briefing from senior UN Secretariat officials on the latest developments and the implications of the Israeli actions.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned the Israeli attack on Qatar, labeling it a "flagrant violation" of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. He commended Qatar's "very positive role" in achieving a ceasefire in Gaza and facilitating the release of hostages, emphasizing the need for all parties to focus on achieving a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, rather than undermining it.
