BEIJING (Sputnik) - The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) on Saturday expressed deep concern over the Israeli airstrikes on Qatar's capital and condemned the violation of Qatar's sovereignty.
"The Shanghai Cooperation Organization expresses deep concern over the Israeli airstrikes on a residential area of the capital of Qatar, Doha, on September 9, 2025, and condemns the violation of the sovereignty of the state of Qatar," the organization said in a statement.
Israel's actions are unacceptable and grossly violate the UN Charter, as well as the fundamental norms and principles of international law, the SCO added.
"The Shanghai Cooperation Organization has consistently opposed the use of force and the threat of its use in international relations, and supports the deescalation of the situation in the Middle East through political and diplomatic means," the statement said.
