Wednesday, September 10


Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said in an interview with CNN on Wednesday there would be a response that is under discussion with regional partners to Israel’s Tuesday attack on Doha.

Plans are ongoing for a summit to be held in Doha in the near future around these discussions, he said, without giving a specific date.

He added that the strike killed hope for hostages in Gaza as he called for his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to be “brought to justice.”

“I think that what Netanyahu has done yesterday, he just killed any hope for those hostages,” the PM said.

Al-Thani said that he had been meeting one of the hostage families the very morning that Israel on Tuesday struck Hamas officials in his country.

The families are “counting on this (ceasefire) mediation. They have no other hope for that,” he said.

He pointed to the indictment against Netanyahu by the International Criminal Court. “He needs to be brought to justice,” al-Thani said.
