Doha, February 09 (QNA) – The State of Qatar has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli Prime Minister’s incendiary remarks on establishing a Palestinian state in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, deeming them a flagrant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) statement on Sunday affirmed Doha’s full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and called on the international community to firmly combat such Israeli provocations.
Reiterating the State of Qatar’s categorical rejection of calls to forcibly transfer the Palestinian people, the MOFA warned that such suggestions would impede the chances of peace and reincite regional confrontations and stressed that a just and sustainable peace will remain unattainable without empowering Palestinians to exercise sovereignty over their territories.
The MOFA statement reiterated the State of Qatar’s firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, including the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
