Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Affirms Importance of Independent, Sovereign Palestinian State

New York, September 23 (QNA) - The independent and sovereign Palestinian statehood should rise, said HE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Sultan bin Saad Al Muraikhi.
His Excellency added that the High-Level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution in New York remains historic on the path toward the settlement of the Palestinian cause.
Delivering the State of Qatar's speech before the conference, His Excellency pointed out that this global action comes within two contexts, one of them is historic and pertains to ending a decades-long oppression of the Palestinian people, the occupation of their territory, and the commission of all crimes against them.
The second one represents the worsening situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, in particular, with the Gaza Strip being decimated, along with the rising violence against the West Bank on the part of Israel, HE Al Muraikhi noted.
He further noted the irresponsible Israeli escalation that targeted several countries of the region, including the State of Qatar on Sept. 9, 2025, in a brazen breach of international law, holding the Israeli government fully responsible for its rogue aggression against the State of Qatar.
Al Muraikhi further indicated that the Gaza enclave has become devastated almost entirely, while the West Bank is being subjected to savage violence and dangerous practices that include taking over the territories, expanding the settlements, and desecrating the sacred sites. (QNA)
