Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the French call is consistent with the resolutions of the Security Council, the General Assembly of the United Nations, and the International Court of Justice that called for an immediate ceasefire in the Strip, providing full protection for civilians and civilian objects, and ensuring the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza without hindrance.

The Ministry renewed its call for the international community to take firm decisions to compel Israel to stop its aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, which has expanded and has become an imminent threat to regional and international security.

The Ministry affirmed Qatar’s firm and permanent position in supporting the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on international legitimacy resolutions, in a way that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
