Qatar calls for int’l action to stop Israel encroachments in Jerusalem

Qatar has called on the international community to urgently intervene to stop Israel from encroaching on the rights of Palestinians and Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.

In a statement published on Thursday, December 7, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned “in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation



allowing a march of extremists in occupied Jerusalem under the slogan of imposing control over Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

The ministry considered the march “a dangerous provocation of feelings and a blatant attack on the rights of the Palestinian people and on the historical Hashemite custodianship of the holy sites in occupied Jerusalem.”
