President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has expressed the UAE's unwavering solidarity with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, condemning the Israeli attack on Doha on Tuesday.
During a phone call, His Highness stressed that the attack represented a clear violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and of all international laws and norms, warning that such actions threaten regional security and stability.
The UAE leader strongly condemned the assault and affirmed the UAE’s steadfast support for all measures Qatar may take to safeguard its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and its people's safety.
Saudi Arabi has also expressed full support and solidarity with Qatar, with Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud calling the Israeli attack a criminal act and an international law violation after a phone call with Sheikh Tamim.
Egypt and Iran have also strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against Qatar.
Emirates Airlines and Etihad Airways have cancelled more flights to and from New York, Newark, and other destinations in the United States due to the severe impact of the snowstorm affecting these areas.
The UAE has reaffirmed its solidarity with Kuwait after Iraq's submission of a map with a list of coordinates to the United Nations that raises potential implications for Kuwait's rights over its maritime areas and waters, including Fisht Al-Eid and Fisht Al-Eij.
The UAE has joined other Arab countries and major regional organisations in issuing a joint statement strongly condemning remarks by the US ambassador to Israel, suggesting it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over occupied Arab territories, including the West Bank.
