Kuwait: The Kuwaiti Cabinet on Tuesday commended the GCC Supreme Council's final statement issued Monday following an extraordinary session, in response to Israel's September 9 assault on the State of Qatar.
The extraordinary session convened in Doha to discuss the repercussions of the blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty, which targeted residential facilities housing members of Hamas' negotiating delegation amid mediation endeavors led by Doha to reach an agreement on Gaza.
The Supreme Council strongly condemned the aggression, condemning the hostile act as a dangerous and unacceptable escalation and a grave breach of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
The Council also reaffirmed GCC member states' full solidarity with the State of Qatar in all measures it takes to confront this aggression, stressing that the security of GCC states is indivisible and that any aggression against one of them is considered an aggression against all, in accordance with the GCC Charter and the Joint Defense Agreement.
The Council affirmed the GCC states' readiness to support the State of Qatar and protect its security, stability, and sovereignty against any threats. The GCC leaders also directed the GCC Joint Defense Council to convene an urgent meeting in Doha, preceded by a Supreme Military Committee meeting to assess the defensive posture of GCC states and sources of threat, in light of the Israeli aggression against the State of Qata. The Unified Military Command was tasked with taking the necessary executive measures to activate joint defense mechanisms and Gulf deterrence capabilities.
