Royadh, MINA – Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday called for Arab, Islamic, and international action following an Israeli airstrike on Doha, pledging full support for Qatar in its response.
“We will stand with the State of Qatar in all measures it takes, without limits, and we will harness all our capabilities for that,” bin Salman said in an address to the Shura Council.
He strongly condemned the Israeli attack, which targeted Hamas leadership in Doha on Tuesday and killed five members of the group.
“We reject and condemn the attacks of the Israeli occupation in the region, the latest of which was the brutal aggression against the State of Qatar,” the crown prince said. “This requires Arab, Islamic, and international action to confront this aggression and to take international measures to stop the occupation authority and deter it from its criminal practices aimed at destabilizing the region’s security and stability.”

Bin Salman also reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s long-standing support for Palestinian rights.
“The Arab Peace Initiative is an unprecedented path to establish the Palestinian state,” he said, referring to the 2002 blueprint offering Israel recognition in exchange for withdrawal from occupied Arab lands.
He added: “The land of Gaza is an inalienable Palestinian right that can’t be taken away by aggression or nullified by threats.”
The Israeli strike on Doha has sparked a wave of international condemnations as a blatant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and international law. []
