The Cabinet on Wednesday renewed Qatar's condemnation of the Israeli occupation's violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and settlers entering the mosque under military protection, in addition to the assault on Palestinian worshippers and preventing Palestinians from carrying out their religious rituals during the holy month of Ramadan.
HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz al-Thani chaired the Cabinet's regular meeting at the Amiri Diwan on Wednesday.
Following the meeting, HE the Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Mohamed bin Abdullah al-Sulaiti issued a statement giving the details of the proceedings.
The Cabinet said the actions represented a dangerous escalation of Israeli aggression against Palestinians in Al Quds and all occupied Palestinian land. It added that it was also an intentional provocation of the feelings of millions of Muslims, and a clear undermining of international laws, conventions and resolutions. The Cabinet said the Israeli occupation's actions shows that they make light of Arab and Muslim reactions to these illegitimate practices.
The Cabinet stressed that the Israeli occupation's actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque and Al Quds, along with other occupied Palestinian land in terms of murder, oppression, terrorisation, Judaisation and expansion of settlement activity, requires urgent Arab and Muslim action, as well as international intervention to force Israel to end its aggression against the Palestinian people and adhere to UN resolutions pertaining to the matter, in addition to acknowledging a two-state solution that ensures a fair, permanent and comprehensive peace.
The Cabinet reiterated Qatar's support of the Palestinian people in these difficult times, and affirmed the State's position of supporting the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian people's rights, led by establishing an independent state with East Al Quds as its capital. |(QNA)
