Doha: President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas reaffirmed his country's solidarity with the State of Qatar in the face of the Israeli aggression, emphasizing that harm to any Arab or Islamic state is harm to all and their collective security.
According to Qatar News Agency, in his address to the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, the Palestinian President described the assault as brutal and unjustified, expressing full solidarity with the leadership and people of Qatar. He condemned the attack and urged the international community to uphold its responsibilities by holding Israel accountable for its actions against Arab and Islamic nations. He also called for concrete measures to prevent further attacks.
The President highlighted that the key to security and stability in the region is stopping the war of genocide, displacement, and theft of land and resources. He emphasized the importance of ending the Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He noted that the ongoing Israeli aggression against Palestine and other Arab and Islamic countries, including Qatar, indicates that Israel's current government cannot be a partner in achieving regional security and stability. This situation, he stated, requires a decisive Arab and Islamic stance, as well as intervention from the United States and the UN Security Council.
The Palestinian President expressed appreciation for the support from Arab and Islamic countries in efforts to end the aggression, provide humanitarian aid, and achieve liberation from occupation. He praised the efforts led by Qatar and Egypt in this regard.
He also thanked the nations participating in the international peace conference in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, for their efforts in gaining international recognition of the State of Palestine and mobilizing support for its pursuit of freedom and independence.
