UAE Leaders Express Condolences to Bahrain's King on the Passing of Sheikh Ibrahim bin Hamad

The rulers of five UAE emirates sent condolence messages to Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa following the death of Sheikh Ibrahim bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Khalifa. The gesture highlights the close diplomatic ties between the Gulf neighbors during times of personal loss.

The Rulers of Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah all expressed their sincere condolences to the Bahraini monarch. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi of Sharjah, Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi of Ajman, Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi of Fujairah, Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla of Umm Al Quwain, and Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi of Ras Al Khaimah each sent personal messages of sympathy.

Crown princes and deputy rulers from these emirates also sent similar condolence messages to King Hamad. This coordinated response shows how Gulf royal families maintain strong personal relationships that extend beyond formal diplomatic channels.

Such expressions of solidarity are common practice among Gulf Cooperation Council members, where royal families have maintained close ties for generations. These personal connections often help smooth diplomatic relations and business partnerships between the neighboring states.
