Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani received a phone call today from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

During their conversation, they focused on the close strategic relations between Qatar and the United States, exploring ways to support and enhance these ties.

They also addressed the latest developments in the region, particularly concerning the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.
