In a resolute condemnation, Qatar has vehemently criticized Israel’s recent threats to invade Rafah, a city located in the southern Gaza Strip, citing an impending humanitarian catastrophe. With Rafah serving as a refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced individuals within the besieged enclave, the situation teeters on the brink of a potential crisis.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar has issued a robust statement, urgently calling upon the UN Security Council to intervene promptly and thwart any Israeli occupation forces’ attempts to storm Rafah. Qatar’s government underscores the imperative for immediate international action to forestall potentially catastrophic consequences and advocates for the full protection of civilians in line with international law and humanitarian principles.
Furthermore, Qatar reiterated its firm rejection of any endeavors to forcibly displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, emphasizing its steadfast support for the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of its people.
Moreover, Qatar reaffirms its unwavering stance on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, advocating for its delineation along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In a notable demonstration of its ongoing commitment to alleviating the suffering of the Palestinian populace in Gaza, Qatar recently continued its steadfast support by airlifting the 15th batch of injured Palestinians to receive treatment in Doha. This initiative is part of Qatar’s broader efforts under the leadership of Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani to provide medical care for 1,500 Palestinians from the Strip.
