Arab League condemns Israeli attack on Qatar

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, has condemned in the strongest terms the aggression launched by Israel in Doha.

In a statement, the League affirmed that this targeting represents a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Qatar, declaring its full solidarity with it and calling on the international community to assume its responsibilities to stop repeated Israeli aggressions.

Israel told Reuters the blasts were aimed at top Hamas leaders, including Khalil al-Hayya, its exiled Gaza chief and top negotiator.
