STATEMENT from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the Israeli Strike in Doha, Qatar
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) condemns in the strongest terms the recent Israeli strike on residential premises in Doha, Qatar. This act of aggression constitutes a flagrant disregard for international law and a clear and dangerous violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar.
The strike occurred at a time when Qatar has been working as a key mediator in negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza. With this reckless action, Israel has directly undermind these critical diplomatic efforts demonstrating a profound disregard for international norms. CARICOM urges all parties to exercise restraint and redouble their efforts to pursue a peaceful resolution through dialogue and negotiation.
CARICOM has repeatedly called for an immediate, unconditional, sustained ceasefire, the unimpeded provision of humanitarian assistance in Gaza, and the return of all hostages. We have consistently condemned all violence against civilians and have repeatedly reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to a two-state solution as the only viable path to a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace.
CARICOM stands in full solidarity with the State of Qatar and reaffirms its commitment to working with the international community to de-escalate tensions and forge a durable peace that meets the legitimate aspirations for security and stability of all peoples in the Middle East.

About CARICOM:
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) was established on 4 July 1973 with the signing of the Treaty of Chaguaramas, which was revised in 2001 to allow for the establishment of a single market and economy. CARICOM comprises fifteen Member States and six Associate Members and is home to approximately sixteen million citizens, 60% of whom are under 30 years old. CARICOM’s work rests on four main pillars: economic integration; foreign policy coordination; human and social development; and security cooperation.
The members of CARICOM work together to create a Community that is integrated, inclusive and resilient; driven by knowledge, excellence, innovation and productivity; a Community which is a unified and competitive force in the global arena, where every citizen is secure and has the opportunity to realise his or her potential with guaranteed human rights and social justice, and contributes to, and shares in, its economic, social and cultural prosperity.
CARICOM remains one of the best examples of integration in the developing world.
The CARICOM Secretariat, the principal administrative organ of the Community, is headquartered in Georgetown, Guyana.
