Doha -  June 11, 2024

The State of Qatar welcomes the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area, the exchange of prisoners and detainees, the entry of humanitarian aid, the return of displaced persons, reconstruction, and the rejection of any demographic changes in Gaza.
Qatar considers this a significant step in the right direction towards ending the brutal war on the Strip.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Expresses Qatar's hope that all parties will commit to implementing the resolution without delay or evasion, especially given the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Strip and the increased risk of escalating violence in the region.
The Ministry stresses the need for intensified regional and international efforts to support a two-state solution and a return to the political process, emphasizing that achieving comprehensive and just peace in the region is contingent upon the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
