Qatar’s
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani recently told Qatar News Agency that the state welcomes the resolution of the
UN Security Council against Israel’s settlement in Palestine.
Al-Thani noted that he hopes
the resolution is a step forward in achieving a just and comprehensive peace
for the Palestinian people, and one that contributes to peace and security in
the region.
Al-Thani
also mentioned that the construction of settlements in occupied Palestinian territories
contradicts international law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention. He
noted that the State of Qatar has been and will continue to remain supportive
of the Palestinian cause.
“Regardless
of the challenges that surround our Arab region, but that will not stop us from
supporting the Palestinian people and stand by them in their struggle for the
defense of their land and its people and their sanctities,” Al-Thani said.
