He called for assuming the humanitarian, moral, and legal responsibilities and taking appropriate measures to ensure that the Palestinians obtain their legitimate rights, particularly their right to self-determination, return, and the establishment of their independent state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
HE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs underlined that Qatar will remain committed to its contribution, alongside its partners, to all sincere peace efforts aimed at ending the occupation and achieving peace in Palestine and the Middle East.
