Qatar: Israeli bombings ‘could undermine de-escalation efforts’

Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Israel's “dangerous escalation in the course of confrontations, could undermine mediation and de-escalation efforts,” in a statement published on Tuesday evening. 

The statement came after Israel bombed the residential Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, killing and wounding 400 people. 

The Qatari foreign ministry described the strike on the Jabaliya camp as a “new massacre against the defenseless Palestinian people”.

In their statement, the ministry said they call on the international community “to act quickly to stop the killing and destruction”.
