The UN Security Council issued a press statement on Sept. 11 condemning the Israeli attack on Qatar on Sept. 9. Though it doesn’t name Israel as the attacker, the statement is still characterized in press reports as a remarkable achievement, because the U.S. didn’t veto it this time. Here’s the full text:
“The members of the Security Council expressed their condemnation of the recent strikes in Doha, the territory of a key mediator, on 9 September. They expressed deep regret at the loss of civilian life.
“Council members underscored the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar. They underlined their support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar, in line with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
“Council members recalled their support for the vital role that Qatar continues to play in mediation efforts in the region, and alongside Egypt and the United States.
