Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi : It was with profound sorrow that I received the news of the passing of His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, father of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani (may he rest in peace). On behalf of the government and people of Iraq, and personally, I extend my deepest condolences to the Emir and the brotherly people of Qatar. We remember the late Sheikh Hamad’s significant role in the major transformations that contributed to Qatar’s emergence as an influential nation at the Arab and international levels. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his family, loved ones, and the brotherly people of Qatar find patience and solace. Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return. https://x.com/alifalihalzaidy/status/2076247941950427222?s=46
