The attack launched by Israel today on the Hamas negotiating delegation in Qatar once again clearly revealed that the Netanyahu government, which has lost its mind, is seeking to deepen the intensity of the conflict and destabilize the region.

The attack, which is a blatant violation of international law and the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, also targeted the security and safety of brotherly Qatar. I strongly condemn this attack.

Turkey stands with all its capabilities alongside its Palestinian brothers, ally and strategic partner Qatar. Those who have turned terrorism into a state policy will never achieve their goals.

We will continue to maintain our wise and firm stance in the face of Israel's arrogance, which aims to drag itself and the entire region into the abyss, and we will continue to defend peace, international law, and the freedom of the Palestinian people, no matter the cost.

This morning, the Trump Administration was notified by the United States Military that Israel was attacking Hamas which, very unfortunately, was located in a section of Doha, the Capital of Qatar. This was a decision made by Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was not a decision made by me. Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals. However, eliminating Hamas, who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza, is a worthy goal. I immediately directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did, however, unfortunately, too late to stop the attack. I view Qatar as a strong Ally and friend of the U.S., and feel very badly about the location of the attack. I want ALL of the Hostages, and bodies of the dead, released, and this War to END, NOW! I also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after the attack. The Prime Minister told me that he wants to make Peace. I believe this unfortunate incident could serve as an opportunity for PEACE. I also spoke to the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar, and thanked them for their support and friendship to our Country. I assured them that such a thing will not happen again on their soil. I have directed Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, to finalize the Defense Cooperation Agreement with Qatar. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
