Qatar Emir Urges Regional Security Framework and Gaza Ceasefire at UN General Assembly
Anonymous
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani told the 81st United Nations General Assembly that the Middle East is facing an exceptionally dangerous period because unresolved conflicts have compounded over time. He called for dialogue, negotiation and solutions grounded in international law, sovereignty and territorial integrity, along with a regional collective-security framework to prevent disputes from escalating into war. Amid recent Gulf tensions, he urged renewed diplomacy, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and returning to negotiations, while warning that instability threatens energy supplies, maritime navigation and global economic interests. On Gaza, Sheikh Tamim described Israel’s actions as genocide, condemned proposals to displace Palestinians and criticized what he characterized as the international community’s inadequate response. He reaffirmed Qatar’s efforts to mediate, ease civilian suffering and secure the release of detainees, presenting Doha as a continuing platform for diplomacy and conflict resolution.
