UN Condemns Strikes On Qatar, Avoiding Naming Israel
On September 11, 2025, the UN Security Council issued a statement condemning the airstrikes in Doha, Qatar. The resolution was passed unanimously by all 15 members. The statement did not explicitly name Israel as the perpetrator.
Details Of The Attack
The strikes targeted Hamas political leaders in Doha, especially in meeting areas used for mediation efforts. The attack occurred as peace negotiations were underway.
U.S. Support Noted
The United States, typically defensive of Israel in such matters, supported the Security Council’s condemnation. This reflects growing concern even among Israel’s allies over strikes that breach national sovereignty.
Regional And Member State Reactions
Several Council members, including Qatar and Pakistan, criticized the attacks as violations of sovereignty. Some members also expressed frustration at the statement’s avoidance of naming the attacker.
Diplomatic Implications
The condemnation signals potential strain in how close allies respond to Israel’s actions when civilian states are affected. It may affect ongoing mediation efforts and influence future diplomatic alignments in the region.
