Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif visited Qatar on Thursday and expressed condolences over Israel's recent attack there.

He met the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to who he conveyed Pakistan’s strongest condemnation of the Israeli attack on Doha on September 9, terming it a blatant and flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

He said that the leadership and people of Pakistan were deeply disturbed by this attack against the brotherly State of Qatar, that constituted a serious breach of international law.

Qatar’s prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “killed any hope” of releasing hostages still held in the Gaza Strip by ordering the attack in Doha.
