Israel’s actions in Gaza are “very dangerous” and are “trampling not only on international law, but also all values, norms and religious and worldly laws,” Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani said yesterday.
In his inauguration of the Shura Council’s 52nd annual session, Tamim said: “Our Palestinian brethren are living through difficult circumstances beyond the realm of imagination.It is unacceptable to remain silent in the face of the unprecedented barbaric bombing of civilians in the Gaza Strip… nor to ignore the huge numbers of its innocent victims, including children and women.”
“We are against attacks on civilians regardless of their nationality. By any party. But we do not accept double standards, nor do we accept acting as if the Palestinian children’s lives have no value, as though they are faceless or nameless.”
He went on to highlight that Israel had made clear its ” illegal intentions such as displacement”, adding that this is not an acceptable outcome. “We say enough! Israel cannot have a green light and license to kill, nor is it tenable to continue ignoring the reality of occupation, siege and settlements. It should not be allowed, in our time, to use cutting off water and preventing medicine and food as weapons against an entire population.”Israel’s actions, he explained, are “very dangerous” and include “trampling not only on international law, but also all values, norms and religious and worldly laws.”
