Qatar condemns Israeli justice minister's statements on annexing West Bank
DOHA: The State of Qatar has condemned the statements made by the Israeli Minister of Justice regarding the annexation of the occupied West Bank, considering them an extension of the occupation's settlement, colonial, and racist policies, and a flagrant violation of international law and Security Council Resolution 2334. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the urgent need for international community solidarity to confront the occupation's dangerous escalation policies that threaten regional security, including its ongoing crimes in the West Bank, its violations of religious sanctities, its plans to Judaize Jerusalem, and its restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip. The Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's firm and permanent position in support of the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution, ensuring the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
