Qatar has renewed its call for the UN Security Council to make a fair and appropriate decision by recommending full membership for the State of Palestine in the UN.

During the emergency special session of the General Assembly, Qatar’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani, expressed Qatar’s pride in the adoption of the historic draft resolution by an overwhelming majority of the General Assembly, which supports Palestine’s right to full membership in the United Nations.

She expressed Qatar’s gratitude to the countries that voted in favor of the draft resolution, affirming that Qatar’s participation in adopting the draft resolution reflects its principled and longstanding position in support of the Palestinian people and their just cause.

Sheikha Alya stated that the State of Qatar confirms that the State of Palestine meets the required criteria and conditions under Article 4 of the United Nations Charter; therefore, this decision represents a significant victory for our Palestinian brothers and provides a new opportunity for the Security Council to take a unified stance to recommend the membership of the State of Palestine.

This decision embodies the purposes of the United Nations and international legitimacy resolutions, especially the principle of the right to self-determination, the principle of equal rights among peoples, and the principle of equality in sovereignty, Sheikha Alya said.

Accepting the State of Palestine as a full member state is a crucial step toward achieving the two-state solution, which is a key entry point to a just and comprehensive political settlement of the Palestinian issue in accordance with international legitimacy, she added.

Sheikha Alya explained that despite the importance of this achievement, the Israeli aggression continues in Gaza in clear defiance of international law, international humanitarian law, relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions, and the International Court of Justice.

Qatar also strongly condemned Israel’s bombing and attacks on Rafah.

Qatar has warned that forcing civilians to flee from the city, which has become the last refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced people within Gaza, constitutes a serious violation of international laws and would exacerbate the worsening humanitarian crisis in the Strip.
