UAE summons Israeli diplomat over attack on Qatar

Violation of sovereignty and international law

Minister Al Hashimy emphasised that this reckless aggression constitutes a flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty, a grave breach of international law and the UN Charter, and an irresponsible escalation that threatens regional and international peace and security.

Security of Qatar is GCC security

She reaffirmed that the security and stability of the State of Qatar is an integral part of the security and stability of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, underlining that any aggression against a GCC member state constitutes an attack on the collective Gulf security framework.

Hostile rhetoric escalates regional tensions

Furthermore, Al Hashimy stressed that the continuation of such hostile and provocative rhetoric undermines prospects for stability, pushes the region towards extremely dangerous trajectories, and solidifies a situation that is unacceptable and cannot be overlooked.
