The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Israel’s occupation practices have weakened hopes for peace in the region. The statement emphasized that Israel’s settlement and colonial policies, along with its aggressive plans, pose a serious threat to peace and security.

At the 60th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, it was noted that the official recognition of the State of Palestine by many countries was “a victory for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.” Qatar stated that these steps are in line with international legitimacy and UN Security Council resolutions.

Officials stressed that the recognition of the Palestinian state should not remain merely on paper, calling on the international community to put pressure on Israel. The statement added that the war in Gaza, forced displacements, and starvation policies must end.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry also demanded that humanitarian aid reach Gaza, that Israel end its occupation of all Palestinian and Arab territories, and that those responsible for crimes against the Palestinian people be held accountable.
