In a tragic incident near Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh, three Qatari diplomats lost their lives in a car crash, prompting an outpouring of condolences from Gulf leaders. The Qatari Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, expressed his heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved families via a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. He prayed for the deceased to be granted eternal peace and for their families to find strength during this difficult time. Additionally, he wished a swift recovery for the two individuals injured in the accident, who are currently receiving medical care at a local hospital. The Qatar embassy in Cairo confirmed the details of the incident, which occurred early on Sunday. The diplomats were part of Qatar’s Amiri Diwan, the royal court, and were on official duty at the time of the crash. The accident has drawn widespread attention, especially given the recent diplomatic activities in Sharm el-Sheikh, where Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt had engaged in indirect talks aimed at brokering peace in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The city is also set to host a global summit to finalize the agreement. Leaders from across the Gulf, including UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, have extended their condolences to Qatar. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) also issued a formal statement expressing solidarity with Doha in this time of grief.
