Heads up! Israel’s unprecedented airstrike in Doha targeted a building housing senior Hamas officials, sending shockwaves across the Middle East 😲.
At a press briefing, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian blasted the strike as a breach of Qatar’s sovereignty and voiced 'deep concern' over its potential to spike regional tensions. He stressed that 'force won't bring peace; dialogue is key' 🙏.
The timing couldn't be more volatile: talks on a US-proposed ceasefire were underway, and Qatar – a crucial mediator – wasted no time denouncing the attack. With Hamas negotiators on site, experts worry this could derail any truce or hostage-release deal.
Beijing also hinted at an unnamed major power whose one-sided stance might have paved the way for the strike. China is urging all parties, especially Israel, to pause hostilities and reboot negotiations ASAP.
With the Gaza conflict dragging into its second year, the big question is: will diplomacy triumph over firepower? We’re watching closely as Doha, Washington, and Beijing jockey for a peaceful outcome 🔍.
We’ll keep you in the loop with quick updates – stay tuned! 🔔
