Addressing the meeting, HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs reiterated the State of Qatar's condemnation of Israel's publicly declared rejection of the roadmap aimed at completing the implementation of HE President of the United States' comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza.
His Excellency stressed the need for the international community to assume its responsibilities and exert pressure on Israel to fulfill its obligations under the Gaza ceasefire agreement and halt its ongoing violations of the rights of the Palestinian people, in a manner that ensures the full implementation of the roadmap and ultimately leads to the achievement of peace and stability in the Gaza Strip.
His Excellency reaffirmed the State of Qatar's firm and steadfast support for the Palestinian cause and the rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the two-State solution.
