Doha, Qatar: The Amir His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani met with his brother, His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan at the Amiri Diwan Tuesday afternoon, March 17, 2026, to discuss developments in the region.

Both sides affirmed their rejection of these attacks and stressed the need for an immediate halt to all military actions that would expand the scope of the conflict and endanger the security of countries and their peoples. They also stressed the importance of intensifying regional and international efforts to reduce escalation and contain the existing tension, and to work through diplomatic channels and dialogue to address the existing crises in a way that contributes to sparing the region further deterioration and enhances the chances of security and stability in it.

The two sides also discussed a number of regional and international issues of common interest, stressing the importance of continuing coordination and consultation between the two countries, especially in light of current developments and their repercussions on the security and stability of the region.
