Antigua and Barbuda Condemns Israel’s Airstrike in Qatar, Calls for Immediate Halt to Escalation
The Government of Antigua and Barbuda has strongly condemned an airstrike carried out by Israel in Doha, Qatar, on 9 September 2025. The operation was confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as being initiated and executed by Israel.
In an official statement, the government described the strike as a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, in contravention of the United Nations Charter.
Antigua and Barbuda expressed full solidarity with Qatar and echoed United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres’ characterization of the airstrike as a “flagrant violation” of Qatari sovereignty.
The government called for an immediate halt to any further escalation, strict compliance with international law, and a return to credible diplomacy aimed at achieving a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and securing the release of all hostages.
“Such violations of international law must not continue with impunity,” the statement emphasized. Antigua and Barbuda also expressed support for urgent consideration of the incident by the United Nations Security Council.
