The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has expressed strong condolences to Qatar after a deadly Israeli strike that killed a senior Hamas officer in Doha. The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also extended wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured in the attack.
This strike has sparked widespread condemnation across Gulf countries, denouncing the attack as a dangerous escalation and a clear violation of Qatar’s sovereignty.
Reactions from the Gulf Countries
- The UAE was among the first to respond, calling the strike a serious breach of international norms.
- Saudi Arabia and Jordan also condemned the attack, describing it as a “cowardly” and criminal act.
- Both countries reached out to Qatar’s leader, Sheikh Tamim, offering support amid rising tensions in the region.

The senior Hamas figure targeted in Qatar, Khalil Al-Hayya, is a key member of the group’s leadership council, which has managed Hamas since its previous leader was killed last year.
Regional Implications
The incident has further escalated tensions across the Middle East, raising concerns about the possibility of increased conflict in the Gulf area. This development has drawn significant international attention to the complex and volatile situation in the region.
