This Tuesday, Israel carried out an airstrike in Doha, Qatar, claiming that its target was the leaders of Hamas. The action has sparked a wave of international condemnation, highlighted by the strong response from UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who described it as a “flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” Guterres made these statements during a press briefing where the increase in global military spending, which has reached record levels in 2024, was addressed.
The Secretary-General emphasized that the Israeli attack occurs against a backdrop of rising militarism and highlighted the constructive role that Qatar has played in seeking a ceasefire in Gaza. During his remarks, Guterres stressed the importance of all parties involved working toward a permanent ceasefire in the region, avoiding military actions that undermine those possibilities.
This attack comes at a critical time, as members of Hamas were in Doha participating in a new round of negotiations, with Qatar acting as a mediator. Images released by media from the Qatari capital illustrate a plume of smoke over the bombed area, as well as significant damage to the building where the negotiators were believed to be located. So far, no casualties have been reported.
Guterres also highlighted an alarming reality: “the world spends much more on war than on building peace,” underscoring the urgent need for effective diplomatic intervention to halt the escalation of violence in the region.
