The UAE affirms its categorical rejection of any attack that threatens the security and safety of Qatar and undermines the security and stability of the region."
In a statement, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "the UAE's full solidarity with Qatar and its unwavering support for all measures that protect the security and safety of its citizens and residents." It also stressed the need for an immediate end to military escalation, warning that the continuation of such escalatory actions would undermine regional security and drag the region down dangerous paths that would have disastrous repercussions for international peace and security.
The Ministry called for diplomatic solutions and the principle of good neighborliness, noting that serious dialogue is the only way to overcome current crises and preserve the security and stability of the region and the peace of its people.
In a related development, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the Kingdom "condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the aggression launched by Iran against the State of Qatar, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the principles of good neighborliness.
It is unacceptable and cannot be justified under any circumstances." Saudi Arabia affirmed its solidarity and full support for the State of Qatar, and is deploying all its capabilities to support the State of Qatar in all its measures.
