Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has reiterated Qatar firm position on the Palestinian cause and supported the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
This came as Qatar participated in the Fourth Meeting of the Arab Ministerial Committee in Charge of International Action to Confront Illegal Israeli Policies and Measures in the Occupied City of Jerusalem, which was held in Amman on Thursday.
During the meeting, the FM said that storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli occupation forces and arresting worshippers inside it is the latest addition to the repeated violations of the sanctity of the mosque. It’s a provocation to the feelings of millions of Muslims around the world in the blessed month of Ramadan and a flagrant violation of human rights and international conventions.
He affirmed that the repeated and systematic attacks by the occupation against the defenceless Palestinian people and the sanctities of Muslims is the result of the repeated impunity of the occupation.
It’s the failure of the international community to implement the provisions of international law to protect the rights of the Palestinian people.
The FM reiterated Qatar’s support to the Palestinian cause, foremost of which is the establishment of an independent state on their homeland, with East Jerusalem as its capital. He stressed Qatar’s rejection of all escalatory measures taken by the Israeli occupation forces, and called for the need to calm the situation and reduce escalation and tension.
During the third meeting at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Arab League in Cairo in March 2022, the ministers of the member states of the committee affirmed the importance of united action to confront the illegal Israeli policies, which are violation of international law and which undermine the foundations of peace. The ministers condemned demolition of homes, building and expansion of settlements, confiscating land and displacing Palestinians.
All these measures result in failure to establish a viable and geographically contiguous Palestinian state.
The ministers also stressed the importance of supporting the steadfastness of the people of Jerusalem, and making all efforts to stand in the face of Israeli measures aimed at changing the historical and legal status quo in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
The ministers reaffirmed that East Jerusalem is the capital of the Palestinian state, and rejected any attempt to detract from the right to Palestinian sovereignty over it and any unilateral measures affecting the legal status of Jerusalem.
The ministers stressed the need to preserve the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian sanctities, and to reject all practices aimed at compromising this situation.
The attendees affirmed the importance of the role of the Hashemite guardianship over the Arab, Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and its role in protecting these holy sites and preserving their Arab, Islamic and Christian identity and its historical and legal situation.FM affirms Qatar’s support to the Palestinian cause
