Qatar, acting as a key mediator in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, has strongly condemned recent Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. The Qatari foreign ministry described the attacks as a dangerous escalation that could jeopardize the fragile ceasefire agreement in place.

Israel stated that the airstrikes were a response to terror operatives firing on its troops in the Khan Younis area. The situation has raised concerns about the stability of the weeks-long truce and the prospects for continued peace efforts.
