New York: Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations H E Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani participated in a media stand organised by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) group at the United Nations in New York.

The media stand addressed the draft resolution submitted to the UN Security Council by the Kingdom of Bahrain, on behalf of the GCC states and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which condemns Iranian attacks on the territories of GCC member states and other countries.

In a statement delivered during the media stand, she noted that the draft resolution was submitted in response to the unjustified and illegal attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran against the territories of GCC member states, including the State of Qatar.

She explained that these attacks constitute a flagrant violation of national sovereignty and a direct assault on the security and territorial integrity of the GCC states, representing an unacceptable escalation that threatens the security and stability of the region.

Noting that the draft resolution is consistent with the fundamental principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, she said that the large number of countries sponsoring it reflects a broad understanding of the gravity of these attacks.
