HH the Amir noted that Qatar has warned of the recent escalation in Lebanon, since the beginning of the increasing Israeli aggression, indicating that it has worked intensively to reach a ceasefire and contain the conflict.

HH the Amir stressed that de-escalation in light of these rapid developments means that the occupation army stops its unjust war on brothers in Gaza and the West Bank and its aggression on Lebanon.

Regarding mediation to ceasefire, HH the Amir affirmed the continuation of Qatar’s efforts and endeavours to stop the war in Gaza and release the hostages and detainees, explaining that mediation is a strategic option for Qatar.

HH the Amir also reiterated that the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital is the key to a lasting and sustainable peace in the region, noting that any other proposals or solutions to circumvent this are doomed to failure.

For his part, the Iranian president expressed his thanks to HH the Amir for the warm reception and hospitality, stressing that his country looks forward to strengthening its relations with Qatar through discussions that cover many fields, hoping that the two countries will employ their capabilities to enhance cooperation between them.

The Iranian president also stressed the importance of multiple mechanisms to develop relations between Qatar and Iran, noting that this is what Qatar is doing, and expressed the need to enhance cooperation and brotherhood between Islamic countries in general, highlighting that that cooperation between Qatar and Iran supports the stability and security of the region.

Regarding the recent developments in the region, the Iranian president explained that Iran is keen on peace and calls for calm, indicating that wars do not serve the interests of countries in the region.
