United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrived in Qatar on Wednesday, in a show of solidarity a day after Israel launched an airstrike targeting Hamas officials in Doha.

He was received at the airport by a high-level Qatari delegation, led by HH The Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed is accompanied on the visit by a delegation that includes HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence; HH Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and National Security Adviser; HH Lt. General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior; HH Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Court for Development and Fallen Heroes’ Affairs and other top officials.

The visit comes after Sheikh Mohamed expressed the UAE's unwavering solidarity with Qatar during a phone call. 

Sheikh Mohamed had strongly condemned the assault and affirmed the UAE’s steadfast support for all measures Qatar may take to safeguard its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity, and its people's safety.

Jordan’s Crown Prince Hussein is also expected to visit Qatar on Wednesday, while Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is expected to arrive in Doha on Thursday, an official with knowledge of the matter said.

The visits, which were not previously scheduled, were a show of regional solidarity with Qatar following the Israeli strikes, the official said.
