Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has said that Qatar had clearly warned, since the beginning of the events on October 7, of the expansion of the circle of conflicts (in the region) and its direct relationship to the escalation and war on the Gaza Strip.

Pointing out the differing international positions regrading the situation in Gaza and the double standards of some counties in evaluating conflicts, he called on the international community to ensure that the standards be unified and applied on everyone, rather than being classified on the basis of identity of the aggressor and the victim.

Addressing a joint press conference with Prime Minister of Romania H E Marcel Ciolacu in Doha yesterday, he called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and work to stop this war as well as the continuous targeting and killing of the Palestinian people in this manner, in addition to the policy of siege and starvation against them, and the use of humanitarian aid as a tool for political exploitation.

Earlier, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs held an official discussion session with the Romanian Prime Minister. They discussed relations between the two countries and ways to support and enhance them.

They also discussed developments in the region and ways for de-escalation and calm, particularly in ending the war in the Gaza Strip.
