NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday spoke with the emir of Qatar and strongly condemned the “violation of the sovereignty” of the Gulf nation.
"Spoke with Amir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani and expressed deep concern at the attacks in Doha. India condemns the violation of the sovereignty of the brotherly State of Qatar. We support resolution of issues through dialogue and diplomacy, and avoiding escalation. India stands firmly in support of peace and stability in the region, and against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations," PM Modi wrote on X.
The prime minister’s conversation with the Qatari monarch came a day after Israel carried out air strikes in Doha targeting Hamas leadership, in an operation codenamed “Summit of Fire .”
On Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had voiced “deep concerns” over the impact of the strikes on regional security. “We strongly urge restraint and diplomacy, so that peace and security in the region is not endangered,” the MEA said in a statement.
Doha was rocked by explosions, with witnesses reporting plumes of smoke over the Katara district. Qatari authorities denounced the raids as a “cowardly assault” on residential buildings sheltering Hamas leaders, warning of a dangerous escalation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office later said the operation was “wholly independent,” carried out by the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli Security Agency.
