On Sunday, the League of Arab States condemned the attack on the Qatari Al-Meida liquefied gas tanker in the waters of the Gulf, and warned that damage to energy tankers is a dangerous escalation that threatens the security of the region and the global economy and exposes the ships' crews to danger. In a statement, the Arab League called for the necessity of ensuring the security of sea lanes for the safety of global trade, and warned of the consequences of such a focus on the stability of markets and energy supply. The university also warned that damage to gas tankers could have a serious impact on the marine environment or the regularity of energy flows to international markets, and affirmed its support for the steps and measures taken by Qatar to protect its property and confront anything that threatens its security and interests.
