India’s Ministry of External Affairs expressed deep concern over Israeli airstrikes in Doha targeting Hamas leaders, urging all parties to exercise restraint and pursue diplomatic solutions to maintain regional peace. The strikes, which reportedly killed five Hamas members and occurred amid ongoing ceasefire negotiations, triggered international condemnation and allegations of violating Qatar’s sovereignty. While Israel defended its actions as essential for counter-terrorism, asserting precautions were taken to minimize civilian casualties, India’s call for diplomacy reflects its longstanding commitment to stability in the Middle East and prioritization of peaceful resolutions over escalating conflicts.
