Qatar participated in an Arab League emergency session to address Israeli aggression against Palestinians, led by Ambassador Tariq Ali Faraj Al Ansari. The meeting emphasized the necessity of international cooperation to halt violence and support humanitarian efforts in Gaza, amidst escalating conflict and a deteriorating humanitarian situation.
On Wednesday, the State of Qatar participated in an extraordinary meeting of the League of Arab States’ Council at its General Secretariat in Cairo. Convened at the request of the State of Palestine, the session aimed to address the pressing need for Arab and international cooperation to compel Israel to end its aggressive actions against the Palestinian populace and to adhere to international law.
The Qatari delegation was led by HE Tariq Ali Faraj Al Ansari, Qatar’s Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States. In remarks to the Qatar News Agency (QNA), Ambassador Al Ansari condemned the brutal actions of Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians, characterizing these as ongoing acts of genocide and crimes against humanity, particularly alarming during the holy month of Ramadan.
The ambassador further elaborated that the meeting sought to draft a resolution that would align with the principles established in the Cairo Declaration from the Extraordinary Arab Summit held on March 4. The proposed resolution denounced the recent violence by Israeli forces and urged the international community to fulfill its legal obligations as outlined in previous resolutions.
Moreover, the draft resolution underscored the importance of the recent ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, achieved through collaborative efforts between Qatar and Egypt. It called for effective implementation of the ceasefire and ongoing follow-up by relevant entities, including the Arab Islamic Committee established for this purpose.
The session was convened in response to Israel’s escalation of violence against Palestinians, which has resulted in over 400 fatalities and numerous injuries, compounded by the destruction of vital infrastructure such as electricity supplies in Gaza. This humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by the obstructive measures preventing the entry of essential humanitarian and medical aid into the region.
In summary, Qatar engaged actively in the extraordinary session of the Arab League to advocate for urgent measures against Israel’s aggression towards Palestinians. The discussions centered on the need for international accountability and emphasized support for ceasefire initiatives in Gaza. The meeting highlighted the continued humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian people and the collective responsibility of the international community in addressing these grave issues.
