Turkiye has strongly condemned an Israeli airstrike on a residential compound in Doha that targeted members of Hamas' negotiating delegation involved in ongoing ceasefire talks over Gaza.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the timing of the attack, saying it reveals Israel's true intentions to prolong the war rather than pursue peace.
The ministry warned that the strike, which occurred in Qatar-a key mediator in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations-signals an expansion of Israeli aggression to other countries in the region. It described the incident as part of Israel's broader expansionist agenda and accused it of institutionalizing state terrorism.
Turkiye expressed solidarity with Qatar, calling the attack a despicable violation of its sovereignty and national security. Ankara urged the international community to take action to halt Israel's continued military operations in Gaza and across the region.
