The Qatar Cabinet, led by Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, held its weekly session at the Amiri Diwan on Wednesday.
The Qatar Cabinet opened the meeting by applauding the swift response of the armed forces during Iran’s missile attack on Al Udeid Air Base. Thanks to their readiness, the assault caused no deaths or injuries. Ministers strongly condemned the act, calling it a clear violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and international law.
In appreciation, the Qatar Cabinet thanked allied nations for their immediate condemnation and their support for Qatar’s security. It also welcomed the recent ceasefire between Iran and Israel and urged both sides to uphold the agreement. Leaders emphasized Qatar’s commitment to peaceful solutions, regional calm, and international diplomacy.
A key topic discussed was the launch of the 2025–2030 Strategy by the Ministry of Social Development and Family. This initiative aims to shift from traditional care models toward a more empowered, sustainable framework. Priorities include boosting women’s leadership roles, protecting vulnerable groups, strengthening family bonds, and improving quality of life.
In addition, the Qatar Cabinet approved two major draft laws. The first addresses the handling of lost and abandoned property, encouraging citizens to report such findings. The second focuses on water security. It aims to conserve water resources, prevent waste and pollution, and enhance the quality and efficiency of services.
Further, ministers approved a new grievance committee for property expropriation and accepted updated rules for district cooling systems. These updates clarify where and how such systems may operate and ensure fair treatment for property owners affected by installations.
Internationally, the Cabinet ratified agreements with Russia on healthcare and medical research. It also endorsed memorandums with Guatemala, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, and Turkmenistan, covering cooperation in endowments, Islamic affairs, public service, and youth programs.
Finally, ministers reviewed follow-up actions from the Minister of Social Development and Family’s recent visit to Morocco and agreed on necessary next steps.
