The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Gambians Abroad, on behalf of the Government and people of The Gambia, strongly condemns the recent Israeli airstrikes on the State of Qatar, which resulted in loss of lives, destruction of property, and heightened insecurity in the Gulf region.
The Gambia views this attack as a violation of international law, the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, and the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations. Such actions within a sovereign state by another sovereign state undermine peace and security in the Middle East and beyond.
The Government of The Gambia expresses its deepest solidarity with the leadership, Government, and people of Qatar during this difficult time. The Gambia stands firmly with Qatar in safeguarding its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
The Ministry further calls on the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council and relevant regional organizations, to take urgent and decisive measures to prevent further escalation, ensure accountability, and work towards the protection of civilians and the restoration of peace.
The Gambia reaffirms its unwavering commitment to dialogue, diplomacy, and peaceful coexistence among nations and remains committed to global and regional efforts aimed at preserving peace, security and stability in the Middle East Region.
