British, French, German foreign ministers condemn Israel's Qatar strikes

Berlin: The British, French and German foreign ministers condemned Israel's September 9 air strikes on Doha, saying that the bombing, which targeted Hamas leadership, violated Qatar's sovereignty and risked further escalation.

"Such action poses a serious risk to achieving a negotiated deal," they wrote in the statement issued on Friday, three days after the strikes. "We express our solidarity with Qatar and fully support the vital role it continues to play in mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas."
