Qatar Condemns Israeli Minister’s Statements on West Bank Annexation

Doha: The State of Qatar has condemned statements made by the Israeli Minister of Justice concerning the annexation of the occupied West Bank. Qatar views these statements as a continuation of the occupation's settlement, colonial, and racist policies, and as a blatant violation of international law and Security Council Resolution 2334.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement emphasizing the urgent need for international community solidarity to counteract the occupation's policies, which are seen as a dangerous escalation threatening regional security. These policies include ongoing crimes in the West Bank, violations of religious sanctities, plans to Judaize Jerusalem, and restrictions on humanitarian aid entry to civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry reaffirmed Qatar's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause and the resilience of the Palestinian people. This support is grounded in resolutions of international legitimacy and the two-state solution, advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
