'We stand with our host'
Despite the heightened tensions and conflict unfolding across the wider Middle East, daily life in Gulf countries continues largely uninterrupted. 'Gulf Times' spoke with residents across the GCC, many of whom described their host countries as safe, stable environments where communities continue their daily routines with calm and confidence. Bosco Nicholas Menezes, who has lived in Qatar for more than 45 years, said that while the current developments are unprecedented, the country remains one of the safest places to live. “As a long-term resident of Qatar, and having witnessed even the Gulf War in the 1990s, these times are indeed unprecedented,” Menezes said. “But this country has been my home for most of my life. During unsettling times, we must look out for each other and remain positive.” Menezes also lauded frontline workers and government services for continuing their duties. “My kudos to the security guards, delivery workers, health personnel, the armed forces, and government staff. Special thanks to the municipal workers who continue to keep our streets clean every day,” he said.
