“On behalf of the people and Government of Pakistan, I strongly condemn the unlawful and heinous bombing in Doha by Israeli forces, targeting a residential area and endangering the lives of innocent civilians,” PM Shehbaz said.
He extended Pakistan’s ‘deepest sympathies and solidarity’ to the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Qatari Royal Family, and the people of Qatar during what he described as a difficult time.
Calling the strike ‘totally unjustified’, the premier said it constituted ‘a brazen violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar’ and warned that such actions posed a serious threat to regional peace and stability.

“Pakistan stands firmly with the State of Qatar, as well as with the people of Palestine, against Israel’s aggression,” he added.
The statement comes as Israel’s military said it conducted air strikes targeting senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital on Tuesday.
Qatar said Israeli strikes targeted the homes of several members of Hamas’s political bureau residing in the Gulf country, where the militant group’s senior leadership is based.
The strikes were carried out jointly by the military and the Shin Bet security agency, the two bodies said in a statement.
Neither Israeli officials nor domestic media have confirmed whether the strikes hit their intended targets. Hamas has also not commented on the fate of its leaders.
