Doha: Qatar expressed its support for the US, British and French military operations against specific military targets used by the Syrian regime in launching attacks on innocent civilians.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Saturday that the continued use by the Syrian regime of chemical and indiscriminate weapons against the civilians, and its disregard for the humanitarian and legal consequences of such crimes, requires immediate action by the international community to protect the Syrian people and to strip the regime of internationally prohibited weapons.
The statement held the Syrian regime fully responsible for the heinous crime it committed with the use of chemical weapons against the civilians in Douma in Eastern Ghouta, and other war crimes and crimes against humanity that have claimed the lives of children, women and civilians over the past years.
The statement called on the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities to stop the crimes of the regime and its use of internationally prohibited weapons, and to bring the perpetrators of those crimes to international justice.
The statement reiterated the support of the State of Qatar for all international efforts aimed at reaching a political solution based on the 2012 Geneva Statement and the relevant Security Council resolutions, meeting the legitimate aspirations of the brotherly Syrian people for security and stability, and maintaining Syria's national unity.
