Qatar has condemned the Israeli strike on Doha as a violation of its sovereignty and international law, saying it is working with the U.S. to prevent a recurrence.

In a programme aired on Al Jazeera on Wednesday, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed Al Ansari, stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had shown “absolutely no respect for his partners and allies.

He made it clear that mediators in the peace efforts would be scapegoated rather than protected.

He stressed the attack would not deter Qatar from continuing to reach a peace deal.

He noted Washington informed Doha only after the bombing but said U.S. President Donald Trump later assured the Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani such incidents would not happen again.

The emir warned that the attack would not go unanswered and pledged legal and diplomatic measures in response.

Qatar is a major non-NATO ally of the U.S. and hosts the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East.
