Doha: The State of Qatar expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the Israeli occupation police's prevention of releasing the body of Al-Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Akleh from the French hospital in Jerusalem, and their suppression of the funeral procession, and added that the occupation authorities not only killed Shireen in cold blood while she was performing her duty, but also continued to terrorize civilians and participants in the funeral to her final resting place, reflecting the brutality of the Israeli apartheid regime, and the absence of all human values.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed, in a statement today, that Israel must immediately stop its abusive actions, out of respect for the dead and their dignity, and out of respect for the family of the deceased and the Palestinian people.
The ministry renewed the State of Qatar's call on holding the Israeli occupation accountable for the crime of assassinating Shireen Abu Akleh, and presenting the perpetrators to international justice.
