Geneva: Qatar has strongly condemned all the practices and illegal policies of racism and aggressiveness carried out by Israel, which lead to further deterioration in the social and economic conditions of the Palestinian people.
Qatar has reaffirmed its commitment to continuously provide support to the Palestinian people to obtain all their legitimate rights, and the right to self-determination and establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
This came in a speech delivered by Mohannad Al Hammadi, the Second Secretary at the Permanent Mission of Qatar to the UN office in Geneva before the substantive session of the Economic and Social Council for 2013, being held in Geneva under item 11 on the economic and social repercussions of the Israeli occupation on the living conditions of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan.
Al Hammadi said the Palestinian people were struggling for more than six and a half decades for their legitimate rights, and that the time had come for the international community to stop the suffering of Palestinians and Syrians in the occupied Golan by ending Israeli occupation of all Arab territories, stopping settlement operations, lifting the siege of Gaza Strip as well as making Israel comply with all resolutions and relevant international laws and hold all those responsible for violation of the Palestinian people’s rights.
