Doha: The State of Qatar condemned the escalating attacks by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, including systematic violence against civilians, and considered them a flagrant violation of international law and relevant international legitimacy resolutions, as well as an extension of the heinous crimes committed against the brotherly Palestinian people.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that these brutal crimes reflect the Israeli occupation government's approach of enabling settlers to commit further attacks under the protection of the Israeli army and Israeli security services. 

In this context, it called on the international community to take urgent action to provide protection for the defenseless Palestinian people and hold those responsible for these appalling crimes accountable.

The Ministry reiterated the State of Qatar's firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
