Arab Parliament Condemns Targeting Commercial Ship in Qatari Waters

Arab Parliament

The Arab Parliament condemned the targeting of a commercial cargo ship in the territorial waters of the State of Qatar by a drone, stressing that targeting commercial ships represents a flagrant violation of international law, threatens regional and international security and stability, and strikes at the heart of the global economy.

In a statement on Sunday, Speaker of the Arab Parliament Mohammed bin Ahmed Al Yamahi affirmed full solidarity with the State of Qatar and the Arab Parliament's support for all measures that Qatar may take to protect its security and preserve its sovereignty, stressing that the national security of the State of Qatar is an integral part of Arab national security.

He also stressed that any threat to the security of international navigation does not only affect the countries of the region, but extends to the stability of global supply and trade chains, which necessitates a deterrent international stance against these attacks.
