Qatar condemned Israel’s bombing Tuesday of Gaza’s largest refugee camp and warned that expanded strikes on the besieged Palestinian enclave would “undermine mediation and de-escalation efforts”.
The Qatari foreign ministry described the strike on Jabalia camp as a “new massacre against the defenceless Palestinian people”, warning against “the expansion of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip to include civilian targets”, according to the official Qatar News Agency.
