The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani has said the United Nations Security Council, UNSC must compel the apartheid state of Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territories.
In his speech before the UNGA on Tuesday, Sheikh Tamim said: “The Security Council must shoulder its responsibility and compel Israel to end the occupation of Palestinian territories, and to establish a Palestinian state along the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.”
The emir warned that “failure to implement international resolutions and in light of the continuous change of the situation on ground, the occupation and its settlement activities is pursuing a policy of fait accompli”.
“This will change the rules of the conflict and the format of solidarity in the future. At this juncture, I stress that we stand in full solidarity with the brotherly Palestinian people in its aspiration to achieve justice,” he said.
