The State of Qatar strongly condemns, in the harshest terms, the incursion carried out by Israeli occupation forces today in the countryside of Damascus, accompanied by shelling that resulted in the loss of several civilian lives.

The Ministry calls upon the international community to take immediate action to halt these violations, protect civilians, and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with international law.

The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar’s full solidarity with the sisterly Syrian Arab Republic—its government and its people—and its support for all efforts aimed at ending the attacks and ensuring Syria’s security and stability, as well as the unity and integrity of its territories.

Highlighting Qatar’s mediation efforts, Al Mohannadi cited the signing of the Doha Framework Agreement in November 2025 between the Government of DR Congo and the Congo River Alliance (M23), as well as ongoing initiatives to reunite Ukrainian children.
She also emphasized shared opportunities between Qatar and NATO in maritime security, counter-terrorism, counter-extremism, and artificial intelligence, describing them as strategic priorities requiring coordinated action.
Al Mohannadi reaffirmed the strategic nature of Qatar’s partnership with NATO and the country’s commitment to further strengthening cooperation to support security and stability in the region and worldwide.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised Qatar’s pivotal role in mediation and conflict resolution, its active engagement on the international stage, as well as its strong partnership with the NATO, including hosting the bloc’s training center.
