Qatar took part in an Arab League emergency meeting in Cairo, convened at Palestine’s request to address Israel’s aggression against Palestinians. Ambassador Tariq Ali Faraj Al Ansari condemned recent violence and highlighted the need for a resolution based on the Cairo Declaration. The meeting underscored the importance of international responsibility and a ceasefire agreement facilitated by Qatar and Egypt.
On Wednesday, the State of Qatar participated in an extraordinary session of the Council of the League of Arab States in Cairo, requested by the State of Palestine. This meeting focused on discussing both Arab and international initiatives to press Israel to cease its aggressive actions against the Palestinian people, ensuring adherence to international law and legitimacy.
The Qatari delegation was led by His Excellency Tariq Ali Faraj Al Ansari, the Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States. In a statement to Qatar News Agency, he noted that the meeting was convened following a recent attack by Israeli forces on Palestinian civilians during Ramadan, which he described as an ongoing act of genocide against the Palestinian population.
Ambassador Al Ansari indicated that the purpose of the session was to formulate a resolution reflecting the principles outlined in the Cairo Declaration from the Extraordinary Arab Summit on March 4. The draft resolution condemned the violence committed by Israeli forces and urged the international community to fulfill its legal obligations as defined in previous resolutions. This responsibility extends beyond Arab nations to all global entities and regional organizations.
The draft also underscored the importance of the recent ceasefire achieved through collaborative efforts by Qatar and Egypt in the Gaza Strip and emphasized the need for proper implementation and monitoring by relevant nations and the Arab Islamic Committee. This extraordinary meeting was in response to Israel’s resurgence of violence, which resulted in significant casualties among Palestinians and further restrictions on humanitarian aid delivered to the Gaza Strip.
The State of Qatar’s participation in the Arab League’s emergency meeting reflects a strong commitment to addressing the ongoing violence against Palestinians. The session sought to formulate resolutions that uphold international principles and emphasize the collective responsibility of nations worldwide. By addressing critical issues such as ceasefire agreements and humanitarian aid access, this meeting aimed to foster unity among Arab states in their advocacy for the Palestinian cause.
