The Council reiterated Qatar's consistent position on the Palestinian issue, emphasising the necessity for the Palestinian people to attain their legitimate rights, most notably the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Afterward, HE the Secretary-General of the Shura Council Dr Ahmed bin Nasser al-Fadala read out the session's agenda, and the minutes of the previous session were approved.
