Doha: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani has said that the Two State Solution Conference reflects a collective international will to translate words into actions and to make a serious contribution to advancing the path of a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue in all its dimensions.

“The international community bears a central responsibility to create the conditions necessary to reach a lasting and just solution, by restoring respect for international legitimacy after this devastating war and by providing the necessary political, economic, and humanitarian support,” the Prime Minister said while addressing the conference at the United Nations General Assembly headquarters in New York.

He added that “we hope that this conference will be a turning point that leads to concrete commitments that go beyond statements and positions, paving the way for practical steps toward the implementation of the two-state solution, ensuring a just, comprehensive, and lasting settlement of the conflict, and contributing to peace, security, and stability across the entire region.”

Meanwhile, HE Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani participated in the coordination meeting of the foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states that was held on the sidelines of the high-level international conference on the peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue and the implementation of the two-state solution in New York.

In his address, the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation to President of the French Republic HE Emmanuel Macron and to Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, for their initiative in organizing this historic conference under the auspices of the United Nations. “This conference addresses one of the oldest peace and security issues and one of the last manifestations of colonial injustice still on the international agenda.”
