President Muizzu condemns Israeli missile attack on Qatar, calls for immediate action

President Mohamed Muizzu has strongly condemned Israel’s missile strikes on the Qatari capital, Doha, earlier today. The attacks reportedly targeted senior Hamas leaders, with multiple locations in Doha hit. While the full extent of casualties remains unclear, the incident marks a significant escalation in regional tensions.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), President Muizzu described the attack as a blatant violation of international law and an infringement on the sovereignty of an independent nation. He called for immediate international action against Israel, citing a pattern of repeated, unlawful behavior.

The Maldivian government has consistently condemned Israel's military operations and has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights. The Maldives has also supported international efforts to hold Israel accountable, including joining the case filed at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) by several countries against alleged violations of international law.

The government reiterated its call for the international community and the United Nations to take decisive action to stop the ongoing aggression and uphold justice for the Palestinian people.
