Doha, November 11 (KUNA) -- Qatar reaffirmed today, Wednesday, its strongest condemnation of the continued attacks by the Houthi group on several areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a fraternal nation. The Qatari News Agency (QNA) stated that this position was expressed during the regular meeting held by the Qatari Cabinet, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Defense Affairs Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
In this context, the Council reiterated Qatar’s condemnation of the Houthi group’s targeting of Riyadh with two ballistic missiles, as well as the prior targeting of Medina with a ballistic missile, describing these acts as a clear provocation of Muslim sentiments, an aggressive and reprehensible behavior, a blatant disregard for civilian lives, a flagrant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty, and a shocking breach of international law.
The Council emphasized Qatar’s unequivocal rejection of attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilians, and called for the immediate cessation of these irresponsible acts. It reiterated Qatar’s full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its steadfast support alongside the Kingdom in all lawful measures taken to safeguard its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and interests. It also affirmed that the security of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an integral part of Qatar’s security and of the collective security framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
The Council appreciated the continuous efforts of Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to advance U.S.-Iranian negotiations and reach a comprehensive agreement that would end the crisis and achieve security and stability in the region. It noted that, in the context of these benevolent efforts, the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, met in Washington on Monday with U.S. President Donald Trump and his Vice President, JD Vance. The discussions during the meeting were positive regarding the prospects of reaching an agreement and establishing peace in the region.
On another note, the Cabinet commended the signing by the GCC states in Manama last Sunday of the General Agreement for connecting GCC countries to the railway project, describing it as a strategic step and a fundamental pillar for developing joint Gulf cooperation, facilitating the movement of passengers and goods, supporting intra-GCC trade, and enhancing Gulf economic integration and the regional transport system.
