Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, held telephone talks on Tuesday with Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani following the Israeli attacks on Doha.
He stressed the Kingdom’s complete solidarity with Qatar, condemning the "flagrant criminal" Israeli attack that is a "blatant violation of international laws and norms."
He said Saudi Arabia "places all of its capabilities to support Qatar", adding that "it backs all measures it takes to preserve its security and sovereignty."
Israel launched on Tuesday a strike targeting Hamas’ leadership in Qatar, further widening its campaign against the group.
Hamas said in a statement that all of its leaders survived the attack but that five lower-ranked members were killed. Qatar said a member of its Internal Security Force died and others were wounded in the attack.
Qatar has served as a key negotiator in efforts to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip, and it was unclear if the attack would stall those efforts.
