United Arab Emirates reaffirms unwavering backing for Qatar, strongly denounces recent Israeli aggression
In a strong statement delivered at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Jamal Jama Al Musharakh, the Permanent Representative of the UAE, condemned the recent Israeli attack on Qatar. The attack was described as a violation of the sovereignty of an Arab Gulf state and a UN Member State, threatening regional peace and stability.
The urgent debate, requested by the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), was held in response to the attack. Al Musharakh emphasized that any aggression against a GCC member state is seen as an attack on the collective Gulf security framework.
The UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Emir of Qatar, were recently photographed together by Reuters, symbolizing the close relationship between the two nations. This relationship was further strengthened as Al Musharakh reaffirmed the UAE's full solidarity with Qatar and its steadfast support in confronting threats to its security and stability.
Al Musharakh expressed condolences and sympathy to Qatar over the martyrdom of a member of its Internal Security Force. He underlined that the region cannot afford further escalation and instability driven by inflammatory rhetoric and hate speech. The continuation of provocative and hostile rhetoric, he warned, undermines prospects for stability and pushes the region towards dangerous trajectories.
The UAE believes the attack constitutes a clear breach of international law and the UN Charter, and a grave violation of the core principles of human rights. The Israeli head of state responsible for the attack is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has a history of strong and controversial military and diplomatic actions, including accusing Qatar of anti-Israel activities.
Al Musharakh stressed the importance of upholding the principles of the UN Charter and harnessing all capabilities to protect Qatar against threats. The region, he underlined, cannot afford to ignore these threats and must work together to maintain peace and stability. The security and stability of Qatar, he stated, is considered integral to the security and stability of all GCC member states.
No further information was provided about the nature or context of the Israeli attack on Qatar, or about any new developments regarding the shipowner linked to the giant Beirut port blast or Sheikh Hamdan pushing to fast-track AI, robotics. The UAE's stance, however, is clear: it stands firmly against any actions that threaten regional peace and stability, and will continue to support its allies in maintaining security and upholding international law.
