The State of Qatar has expressed its condemnation and firm rejection of the Israeli government’s plan to annex parts of the occupied West Bank and the Jordan Valley in July. Qatar has warned that such an illegal step that violates the relevant international laws and agreements would lead to committing more human rights violations against the Palestinian people, as well as undermining the two-state solution and finishing off the peace process, its security, economic and social consequences will be disastrous for the entire region.
This came in the statement of the State of Qatar, delivered by H E Ambassador Ali Khalfan Al Mansouri, Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Office in Geneva, at the public debate of the 43rd Session of the Human Rights Council Item (7) on the situation of human rights in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories.
H E Ambassador Al Mansouri called on the international community to stand firmly against these flagrant Israeli violations and its continuous challenge to international legitimacy, and to take all necessary measures to prevent these violations and respond to them effectively and quickly if they occurred.
