Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the attack targeting Hamas’s political leadership in Doha was "a wholly independent Israeli operation," stressing that Israel "takes full responsibility" for the action.
Qatar denounced the strike as a "cowardly" assault on residential buildings housing Hamas political bureau members, labelling it a "criminal act" and "blatant violation" of international law. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari declared that Qatar would not tolerate threats to its sovereignty.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres described the attack as a "flagrant violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity," and urged all parties to move towards a permanent ceasefire.

Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry also expressed concern over the strike on Qatar, warning it could further escalate regional tensions.
“We are deeply concerned about today’s attack on Qatar, which may lead to greater regional instability. Azerbaijan reaffirms its support for Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and calls for diplomatic efforts to be prioritised to preserve stability in the region,” the ministry said.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the incident was part of Israel’s continued efforts to undermine regional stability.
