Meanwhile, Qatar also condemned the Israeli occupation forces’ bombing of the Dar Al Arqam School, which was sheltering displaced people in Gaza, as well as the destruction of a warehouse belonging to the Saudi Centre for Culture and Heritage in the Gaza Strip, considering both acts a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the urgent need for the international community to act to hold Israel accountable for its repeated crimes against civilians and civilian infrastructure and to compel it to comply with international laws.
The Ministry reaffirmed the State of Qatar’s firm and unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian cause and the resilience of the Palestinian people, based on international legitimacy and the two-state solution. This position aims to ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
