The State of Qatar condemns in the strongest terms the aggression of the Israeli occupation on the city of Jenin and its camp, resulting in several deaths and injuries. It also considers this a new episode in the chain of horrific occupation crimes against the defenceless Palestinian people, especially women and children. 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns of the fading chances of peace and the expansion of the cycle of violence due to the provocative Israeli escalation in the Occupied Palestinian territories. The Ministry also stresses the need for the international community to act urgently to provide the necessary protection to the Palestinian people, and to oblige Israel to stop its flagrant violations of international law and respect resolutions of international legitimacy.

The Ministry reiterates the firm position of the State of Qatar regarding the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of its independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
