Doha: The State of Qatar has denounced the Israeli Knesset’s preliminary approval of two draft laws that aim to impose Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and a settlement. The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized these actions as a blatant violation of the historical rights of the Palestinian people and a direct challenge to international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement urging the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to assume its legal and moral responsibilities. The Ministry called for urgent action to compel the Israeli occupation authorities to halt their expansionist plans and settlement policies in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The statement also reiterated Qatar’s firm and consistent support for the Palestinian cause and the resilience of the Palestinian people. Qatar emphasized its position, which is based on international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution, advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
