The Qatar Press Centre has issued a statement to express its strong condemnation of the continued practices of the Israeli occupation forces against the brothers in Palestine and Islamic holy sites, amid international silence and global political clout, which made the occupying state succeed in impunity and evade its responsibilities every time.Every year, during Ramadan, the occupation authorities begin to provoke the feelings of Muslims with their repeated storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the resulting attacks and crimes committed by the occupation forces against defenseless worshipers, in addition to other crimes targeting the civilian population in the cities of Palestine, the latest of which occurred on Tuesday 20 Ramadan 1444 AH, corresponding to April 11, 2023. This caused dozens of Palestinians to suffocate, during clashes with the Israeli occupation forces, in a camp in the occupied West Bank. The occupation forces stormed the camp and fired rubber-coated metal bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas at the citizens and their homes. This led to clashes, during which dozens suffocated, and settlers, under the protection of the occupation forces, attacked a house in al-Kheder town, south of Bethlehem.In response to the hate speech adopted by the occupation authorities, dozens of settlers gathered in the "Umm Rukba" area and threw stones and empty bottles at a house and shops, chanting "Death to the Palestinians". This is in contrast to the continuous provocations, psychological pressure and skirmishes that the occupation causes in the Gaza Strip.While the Qatar Press Centre confirms its condemnation of the criminal acts against the brothers in Palestine, it holds the international community responsible for pressuring the Israeli occupation authorities to stop such practices that amount to war crimes and threaten the region and the world with insecurity and stability.
