Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani addressed the UN General Assembly regarding the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, claiming that "the crisis in our region is the result of years of delayed solutions and unrealistic solutions." He stated, "We remain convinced that the Gulf crisis can be resolved through diplomacy, opening the Strait of Hormuz and returning to negotiations. The opportunity for a diplomatic solution must not be missed." In his speech, Al Thani refrained from mentioning Iran but made sure to speak about Gaza: "What has occurred in Gaza is genocide in every sense of the word. The disaster in Gaza continues."
