Qatari Minister of State for International Cooperation Lolwah Al-Khater said what she called the weak and inactive response by the international community to the Pager attack in Lebanon is terrifying.
The Qatari official added in a post on her account on the XN platform, “The matter is not now about Lebanon, Israel, or Gaza, but rather about the new dimension that contemporary war has just entered.”
She pointed out that the use of everyday devices in people’s hands as time bombs “is a horrific nightmare, and what is even more terrifying is this silence on this subject. These mobile time bombs are indiscriminately harming and killing people in public and civilian places. When did this become acceptable?”
Lulwa Al Khater stressed in her post that: Wars must be governed by a set of basic laws and rules.Otherwise, this becomes a very dangerous slippery slope, where there are no limits.”
