Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has said that Qatar and Spain have signed a pact on launching Qatar-Spain Strategic Dialogue.
Addressing a joint press conference with Prime Minister of Spain H E Dr. Pedro Sanchez, he said, “Our discussions touched on the Israeli air strike that led to the killing of a number of employees of the World Central Kitchen charity, bringing the number of aid workers killed during this war to 196.
“We stressed Qatar’s complete rejection of the use of food as a weapon against civilians. There is no doubt that this targeting is a shocking crime and a violation of international laws and humanitarian norms.”
The Prime Minister reiterated Qatar’s calls on the international community to ensure accountability and no impunity for all crimes committed during this war, especially those crimes committed against civilians and employees of international relief and charitable organisations.
“Today, we have the right to ask: How long will the international community continue to monitor this ongoing escalation and its expansion to countries in the region where conflicts have prolonged, without holding those responsible accountable.”
