Qatari minister calls out double standard after killing of Palestinian journalist's family

Lolwah al-Khater, Qatar's international cooperation minister, has strongly criticised the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Wael al-Dahdouh's family. 

"Had this happened to an Israeli journalist, the 'civilized' world would now be shedding tears condemning the 'barbaric' Palestinians," she wrote on X.

"But of course the victims are just Palestinians, so I guess that’s ok; they’re used to it and there many of them anyhow!"
