Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said that Doha will not tolerate any violation of its territorial integrity and reserves the right to respond.

He added at a press conference on Tuesday evening:"We have formed a legal team to take all legal measures to respond to this rogue action."

He continued: "We have reached a critical moment in the region to respond to these actions. The Israeli attack violated international law and ethical standards and can only be described as treachery."

He added: "Israel worked to sabotage all chances for peace, and the United States informed us of the attack 10 minutes after the Israeli attack began."

He stressed that the Israeli attack was a 100% treacherous operation and that there was no prior knowledge of it, noting that mediation would continue on all issues in the region until stability was achieved.
