MOSCOW, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Russia on Wednesday condemned Israel's Tuesday attack on Qatar's capital of Doha as a gross violation of international law and the UN Charter.
"Russia views the incident as a gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter," Russia's foreign ministry said in a statement, calling the attack a threat to stability in the Middle East.
It said the attack on Qatar, a key mediator in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, strongly undermined international efforts for a peaceful resolution.
Russia calls on all parties involved "to demonstrate a responsible approach and avoid actions that could lead to the degradation of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone," the ministry said.
Moscow further calls for an early ceasefire in Gaza, it said, stressing the importance of a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue in accordance with international law. ■
