NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday expressed deep concern about Israel's recent attack in Doha and unequivocally condemned the violation of the sovereignty of Qatar.
Representing India at the United Nations , Arindam Bagchi said: "India firmly believes that differences must be resolved peacefully through dialogue and diplomacy in full conformity with the principles of the UN Charter and international law."
"India is deeply concerned about the recent attacks in Doha and its impact on the security situation in the region. We unequivocally condemn the violation of the sovereignty of Qatar. Such actions threaten peace, stability and security not only in the region but across the world. India firmly believes that differences must be resolved peacefully through dialogue and diplomacy in full conformity with the principles of the UN Charter and international law," Bagchi told the United Nations Human Rights Council.
He said that India stands firmly in "support of peace and stability in the region and against terrorism in any form or manifestation".
"Any escalation must be avoided and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state must be upheld. We strongly urge restraint and diplomacy to ensure peace and security in the region are not compromised. We stand firmly in support of peace and stability in the region and against terrorism in any form or manifestation. We call upon the international community to remain united in efforts towards maintaining and upholding the rule of law. As a close partner India reiterates its solidarity with Qatar and its people," he added.
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with the emir of Qatar and 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.
Israel carried out air strikes in Doha targeting Hamas leadership, in an operation codenamed “Summit of Fire.” 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 Defence Forces and the Israeli Security Agency.
