Qatar’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, expressed his “full support” for Lebanon and said he ordered that emergency aid be provided in the face of Israel’s offensive against Hezbollah, AFP reports.

“I affirm the State of Qatar’s full support for Lebanon and its brotherly people against the brutal attacks they are being subjected to,” the emir said on social media platform X.

“I have directed rapid action and the provision of all necessary resources to provide humanitarian and relief support to all displaced persons and those affected by this aggression.”

“The failure of the international community to stop the war on Gaza was a green light to expand the conflict,” Sheikh Tamim said.
