Doha, Qatar: In line with the State of Qatar's steadfast and continuous support for the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will participate in the extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit scheduled to take place on Monday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The summit comes in response to the recent surge of Israeli aggression in Palestine and Lebanon, prompting Arab and Islamic leaders to convene and discuss measures to halt the attacks, protect civilians, and support the Palestinian and Lebanese people. The summit aims to unify positions and press the international community to take concrete action to end the ongoing hostilities and secure long-term peace and stability in the region.

The State of Qatar has consistently voiced its commitment to defending the Palestinian people against acts of ethnic cleansing and remains at the forefront of Arab, Islamic, and international efforts to prevent the erasure of the Palestinian cause and the forced displacement of Gaza residents.

In his speech at the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September, HH the Amir emphasized that the aggression faced by the Palestinian people in Gaza is among the most brutal and egregious violations of human values, international covenants, and norms, stressing that this is not a war within the international relations well-known and common concept of war, but rather a crime of genocide by means of using the most sophisticated weapons against a people besieged in a detention camp where there is no escape from the barrage of aerial bombing.

HH the Amir added, "We oppose violence and the targeting of innocent civilians by any party, but after a year of the war, and with all that has been and is still being perpetrated in it, it is no longer tenable to talk about Israel's right to defend itself in this context without being complicit in justifying the crime.
