Qatar Condemns Houthi Attack on Power Station Serving the Prophet's Mosque: A Serious Violation of the Sanctity of Holy Sites

“The Foreign Ministry”: Saudi security is an integral part of Qatar’s security and the collective security system of the Gulf Cooperation Council states

Qatar strongly condemned the Houthi group’s targeting of an electricity distribution station in the city of Medina in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which serves the Noble Prophet’s Mosque and civilian installations. It described the attack as a serious violation of the sanctity of Islamic holy sites, a clear provocation of Muslim sentiments, a reckless disregard for civilian lives, a blatant violation of Saudi sovereignty, and a flagrant breach of international law.

In a statement on Thursday, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized Qatar’s unequivocal rejection of attacks on holy sites, civilian installations, and civilians, and stressed the urgent need for an immediate halt to these irresponsible acts.

The ministry also reiterated Qatar’s full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its steadfast support for all legitimate measures undertaken by Saudi Arabia to safeguard its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and interests, affirming that Saudi security is an integral part of Qatar’s security and the collective security framework of the Gulf Cooperation Council states.
