(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) The State of Qatar has stressed full solidarity with the government and people of Palestine in their just struggle to end the foreign occupation of their land and restore their inalienable rights.
Addressing a meeting for the UN General Assembly on the "Work of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories" last night, member of Qatar's delegation taking part in the 68th General Assembly session Khalil Ibrahim Al Mahmoud said that the State of Qatar had always supported the Palestinians' right to establish an independent State with holy Jerusalem as its capital
Qatar condemned a wide range of illegal policies of the Israelis, especially the treatment of the Palestinian detainees, construction of the wall and settler violence, he underlined
It was the "strategy of the Israelis to suffocate the Palestinian community", he said
The Qatari official stressed the need to end the exploitation by Israel of the Palestinian natural resources as well as their settlement activities and hold on Jerusalem's holy sites, especially the holy mosque
Israel's military aggression undermined efforts to help achieve a comprehensive and just solution
Last year, the United Nations had established Palestine as an observer State, and Qatar emphasized that Israel's continued rejection of the Palestinian State did not help the peace negotiations between the two countries, he concluded
