The emir of Qatar has called on the international community to restrain Israel in its fight against Hamas, saying Israeli forces should not be given a green light for unconditional killing in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In his opening speech at the Shura council’s annual session on Tuesday, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani also said the continuing war was a dangerous escalation that threatened the region.
Here are Highlights of his speech
We do not accept double standards and acting as if children’s lives do not count.
It is not permissible to continue to ignore the facts of occupation, siege, and settlement.
We are advocates of peace, we adhere to the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab initiative, and we do not accept double standards.
What is happening is very dangerous, including trampling on all religious and worldly values, customs, and laws.
We say enough is enough, and it is not permissible for Israel to be given an unconditional green light and unrestricted permission to kill.
In our time, cutting off water and preventing medicine and food should not be allowed to be used as weapons against an entire people.
We call for a serious regional and international stand against this dangerous escalation that threatens the security of the region and the world.
We call for an end to this war that has crossed all borders, to spare bloodshed, and to spare civilians from the consequences of military confrontation.
War does not provide a solution of any kind, and all that will happen is an exacerbation of suffering, an increase in the number of victims, and a feeling of injustice.
