"Keir Starmer has condemned Israel's strike on Qatar before a meeting with the Israeli president in London on Wednesday. The UK prime minister said the military strike, which targeted Hamas leaders stationed in Doha, was a violation of Qatar's sovereignty and risked further escalation across the region. The priority must be an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages and a huge surge in aid into Gaza. This is the only solution towards long-lasting peace, he said in a statement on X."
"Israel's military on Tuesday said it had conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organisation. Qatar, which has hosted negotiations between Israel and Hamas, condemned the attack as a blatant violation of international law. Hamas said six people had been killed but its top leadership, including the negotiations team, had survived. No 10 denied having any prior knowledge of the attack, saying it was an entirely independent operation."
