Doha, Qatar - Qatar has strongly condemned the Houthi drone attack on the holy city of Makkah, calling it a violation of religious, moral and humanitarian principles. The government of Qatar described the attack as a "shameful" act of aggression and a "blatant" provocation to the sentiments of over a billion Muslims worldwide. They emphasized that the safety and security of the holy sites and those visiting them cannot be threatened or used in conflicts.
Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that actions endangering Makkah and other Islamic holy sites would be seen as a grave escalation, disregarding their religious and spiritual significance to Muslims. The state expressed full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and supported the measures taken by Riyadh to protect their security, territory, and holy sites.
Qatar also reaffirmed its rejection of attacks on civilians and holy sites, calling for respect for the sanctity of religious places and keeping them from the consequences of regional conflicts and escalation.
