During a call with the leader, Sheikh Mohamed reaffirmed UAE's support for Qatar’s sovereignty and security and condemned the attack.
He also enquired about the situation in Qatar and the wellbeing of its people.
The two leaders discussed the recently announced ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the agreement and praised Sheikh Tamim’s role in helping to facilitate it, stressing the importance of continued coordination to support peace and stability in the region.
Sheikh Tamim expressed his gratitude for UAE’s sentiments and supportive stance towards Qatar and its citizens.
