His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar, has traveled to New York to attend a vital session of the United Nations General Assembly. This announcement was made by Qatar’s Amiri Diwan on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
The gathering in New York is particularly poignant, as global leaders convene with the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip nearing its two-year mark. The region is grappling with a rapidly worsening humanitarian situation, with a global hunger monitor urgently reporting that famine has already taken hold and is projected to expand significantly across the Palestinian enclave by the end of the month.
