HE the Advisory Council Speaker Mohamed bin Mubarak al-Khulaifi has reaffirmed Qatar’s support for the Palestinian people. 

Speaking at an Organisation of Islamic Co-operation’s meeting here yesterday, HE al-Khulaifi  referred to the firm position of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani supporting and advocating the Palestinian cause at all international forums.

HE al-Khulaifi  lauded the tireless efforts led by the Emir to end the Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.

The Advisory Council’s Speaker hailed the Palestinian people’s historic steadfastness in the face of unjustified Israeli aggression.

He called on the International community to assume its responsibility in keeping international peace and security, put firm pressure on Israel to stop its aggression in the Gaza Strip and end the unjust siege in addition to opening the crossings for the Gazans who have been suffering, for over seven years, from lack of basic human life necessities.

He also called for releasing all the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails, including the chairman and members of the Palestinian Legislative Council.

“As parliamentarians, we should discuss the most effective means to support and advocate for our brothers in Palestine in order to recover their legitimate rights and establish their independent state on their national soil, with its capital in East Jerusalem,”  HE al-Khulaifi said stressing the importance of Palestinian national reconciliation. 

He affirmed that the Palestinian cause is, and will remain, the basic and central cause for all the Arab and Islamic countries.

He said: “It is deplorable and hurtful to see that our Palestinian brethren are facing, for over six decades, killings, assassinations, destruction and displacement due to the aggressive practices of Israel’s and use of internationally banned lethal weapons not to mention the settlement activities”.
