Israeli strike ‘killed any hope’ of hostage release: Qatar

Qatar's Prime Minister said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “killed any hope” of releasing hostages still held in the Gaza Strip after Israel attacked Hamas leaders in Doha.

The comments from Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, ahead of appearing at the United Nations on Thursday, underscored the wider anger among Gulf Arab countries over Israel's strike that killed at least six people.

“I think that what Netanyahu did yesterday (Tuesday), he just killed any hope for those hostages,” he said.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Thursday urged Muslim countries to unite against Israeli aggression as he met the Qatari emir and expressed solidarity following Tel Aviv's recent attacks targeting residential areas in Doha.
