Qatar condemns Iran attacks, al-Aqsa storming, Niger unrest

Qatar has firmly condemned Iran's recent attacks on Jordan and the UAE, calling them a severe violation of sovereignty and international law. The attacks, involving missiles targeting Jordan and a drone hitting the UAE, represent a dangerous escalation, according to Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry urged for a return to diplomatic dialogue and adherence to agreements reached through diplomatic efforts.

Doha reaffirmed its solidarity with Jordan and the UAE, supporting their measures to protect sovereignty and security.

Additionally, Qatar denounced the storming of the al-Aqsa Mosque by extremist Israeli officials and settler groups. This act was labeled a clear violation of international law and humanitarian law, and an unacceptable provocation to Muslims worldwide. The ministry emphasized that al-Aqsa is a solely Muslim place of worship, and any unilateral actions to alter the historical and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites are invalid under international law.

In Niamey, the capital of Niger, Qatar also expressed its full solidarity with the country and supported any legitimate actions taken to safeguard its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
