His Highness the Amir stressed, during the call, that safeguarding the lives of civilians, sparing them the consequences of conflict, and reducing escalation are top priorities for Qatar, which is making all its diplomatic efforts with various parties concerned to achieve this goal.
His Highness Sheikh Tamim reiterated Qatar's call for de-escalation and exercising the utmost restraint. His Highness the Amir underscored Qatar's steadfast stance on the Palestinian issue and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the two-state solution, as well as Qatar's condemnation of all Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, their lands, and their holy sites, which undermine the prospects for a just solution to the issue.
