أرحب بأخي سمو الشيخ محمد بن زايد آل نهيان في زيارته الأخوية التضامنية، والتي بحثنا خلالها تداعيات الاعتداء الإسرائيلي السافر على سيادة بلادنا وأمن المنطقة، وجددنا إدانتنا لهذا الانتهاك الخطير لكل الأعراف والقوانين الدولية، والذي يستدعي تكاتف الجهود الدولية لوضع حد لهذا السلوك… pic.twitter.com/s7F0vGuDYP

He emphasised that the ‘criminal attack’ was a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and a breach of international laws and norms, warning that such actions endanger regional security, stability, and the chances for lasting peace.
He also commended Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for his ongoing efforts to promote peace and stability in the region.
Earlier today, Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani warned his country reserved the right to respond to Israel’s deadly attack on Doha on Tuesday, calling it a “pivotal moment” for the entire region.
“Qatar… reserves the right to respond to this blatant attack,” the Qatari Prime Minister told a press conference.
“We believe that today we have reached a pivotal moment. There must be a response from the entire region to such barbaric actions,” Sheikh Mohammed added.
Meanwhile, Qatari Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani told US President Donald Trump in a phone call that his country will take all necessary measures to protect its security and preserve its sovereignty.
Qatar wrote to the UN Security Council on Tuesday that it will “not tolerate this reckless Israeli behaviour and the ongoing disruption of regional security” following the strikes, which its UN Ambassador Alya Ahmed Saif Al-Thani described as “cowardly criminal assault, which constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms.”
