During a telephone conversation between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the State of Qatar Mohammed Al Thani, the head of Russian diplomacy expressed solidarity with the leadership and people of Qatar following the Israeli strike on Doha on September 9, 2025.
Sergey Lavrov conveyed sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased Qatari nationals, alongside wishes for a swift recovery to those injured.
The Russian side reaffirmed its resolute condemnation of this aggressive act as a flagrant violation of international law and an unacceptable assault on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of friendly Qatar. Serious concern was articulated regarding Israel's actions, which risk further destabilising the situation in the Middle East.
Mohammed Al Thani expressed gratitude for Russia's clear and principled stance in support of the sovereignty and independence of the State of Qatar, as well as its endeavours to safeguard its independence and territorial integrity.
The parties agreed to continue close coordination, including in the context of an emergency UN Security Council meeting scheduled for September 11, 2025, in New York at Qatar's initiative, which Mohammed Al Thani will attend.
