Qatar has condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli Prime Minister's incendiary remarks on establishing a Palestinian state in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, deeming them a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) statement on Sunday affirmed Doha's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and called on the international community to firmly combat such Israeli provocations.
Reiterating Qatar's categorical rejection of calls to forcibly transfer the Palestinian people, the MoFA warned that such suggestions would impede the chances of peace and re-incite regional confrontations and stressed that a just and sustainable peace will remain unattainable without empowering Palestinians to exercise sovereignty over their territories.
The MoFA statement reiterated Qatar's firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, including the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
