Pakistan warned about “dangerous climb” such as the United Nations and a long line of countries denounced Israel’s attack to Qatar last week, demanding “responsibility.”
Israel’s attacks on the capital of Qatar on September 9 attacked the leaders of Hamas gathered to discuss a new proposal of high the Fire of the United States. For Gaza. Five members of Hamas and a Qatar security officer were killed.
That strike “was a shocking violation of international law,” said UN Head of Rights, Volker Turk, during an urgent debate in the UN Human Rights Council on the strike.
Denouncing the attack as “an assault on regional peace and stability,” urged “responsibility for illegal murders.”
Qatar and dozens of representatives of the country echoed their words that took the floor during the three -hour debate.
Qatar International Cooperation Minister Maryam Bint Ali Bin Nasser al-Misnad criticized Israel’s “treacherous attack” and demanded that the international community “take practical measures to hold the aggressors and avoid their impunity.”
“This attack was not an isolated incident, but it was part of a broader campaign aimed at distorting Qatar’s role and obstructing its diplomatic efforts,” he said.
The Pakistan ambassador, Bilal Ahmad, warned that “this unjustifiable and unpaved attack constitutes a dangerous escalation.”
The Council had announced on Monday that it would convene the tenth urgent debate since its creation in 2006, after two official requests from members of the Islamic Cooperation Organization and the Gulf Cooperation Council. Pakistan was one of those who directed the call to urgent debate.
‘Shameful’
Neither Israel nor its main ally, the United States, which were disconnected from the Council earlier this year, was present for the urgent debate.
But Israel’s ambassador to Geneva, Daniel Meron, criticized the meeting from the cost.
“This marks another shameful chapter in the continuous abuse of the Human Rights Council,” he told reporters.
He accused the advice of “serving as a platform for anti-Israel propaganda, while ignoring the brutal realities in the field and atrocities committed by Hamas”.
There was little support for Israel’s position during the debate.
The European Union ambassador, Deike Potzel, emphasized the “position of the principles of the block against terrorism in all its forms”, while underlineing its “support for sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar” and asking “Israel to respect international law.”
“We urge all parties to refrain from any action that endangers mediation channels and regional stability,” he said.
China’s ambassador Chen Xu said his country “firmly rejects and categorically condemns” the attack of September 9, which he accused was “a deliberate attempt to derail the negotiation process.”
Some of the hardest criticisms came from South Africa, which has presented a case against Israel before the International Court of Justice, accusing him of committing genocide in Gaza.
The attack “smells against the heart of the mediation processes,” said Ambassador Mxolisi Nkosi to the Council, added that “it shows that Israel does not want to end his genocidal war against the Palestinian people.”
“It is time for the international community to demonstrate through countermeasures practices that Israel does not enjoy some form of special immunity for responsibility.”
