Carney Condemns Israeli Attack on Qatar’s Capital
On Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025, Israeli forces carried out a strike in Doha, Qatar, targeting senior Hamas leaders and killing at least five Hamas members and one Qatari security official.
The strike followed Hamas' October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel that killed about 1,200 people and led to militants holding dozens of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
Canada condemned the strike as a violation of Qatar's sovereignty that risks escalating Middle East conflict and undermining ongoing ceasefire negotiations led by Qatar.
Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the attack as a severe escalation of hostility and called on the global community to respond collectively, urging all parties to "take this incident into consideration."
The attack raised alarms about regional stability by jeopardizing Qatar's role as a mediator in Gaza and threatening ongoing initiatives aimed at freeing hostages and progressing peace negotiations.
