Qatar Welcomes UN General Assembly Adoption of the “New York Declaration” on the Two-State Solution
Doha – 12 September 2025
The State of Qatar welcomes the adoption by the United Nations General Assembly of the “New York Declaration” on the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent State of Palestine, issued by the High-Level International Conference for the Settlement of the Question of Palestine.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers that the adoption of the resolution, with the support of 142 votes, reflects the broad international endorsement of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to establish an independent state. This outcome is also consistent with the recent announcements by several states of their intention to recognize the State of Palestine during the month of September.
The Ministry expresses Qatar’s appreciation for the efforts of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the friendly French Republic, which contributed to the issuance and adoption of the declaration by the United Nations General Assembly.
The Ministry reiterates the State of Qatar’s firm and unwavering position in support of the Palestinian cause and the steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, grounded in international legitimacy and the two-state solution, in a manner that ensures the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
