Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani discussed the situation in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories in a call with US President Joe Biden, the Qatari Emiri Diwan said.
The pair discussed “strategic relations between the two countries” and ways strengthen them, it added.
A separate readout from the White House said the US and Qatari leaders also “discussed the urgent need for all hostages held by Hamas to be released without further delay”, as well as efforts to get more aid into Gaza and Israel’s decision to resume some fuel deliveries.
The diwan also said Sheikh Tamim held a call with Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa.
The two leaders also discussed developments in Gaza, as well as other “regional and international developments of common interest”.
The call with Bahrain’s monarch comes as Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister travelled to Manama for meetings with the country’s crown prince and other top officials.
Qatar’s foreign ministry said the two sides “stressed the need to immediately stop the war in Gaza and protect civilians”.
