Doha, September 5, 2025

The State of Qatar condemns statements by the Israeli Prime Minister regarding his desire to displace Palestinians, considering them an extension of the occupation’s approach to violating the rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, its contempt for international laws and agreements, and its poisonous efforts to block opportunities for peace, especially the two-state solution.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirms that the policy of collective punishment practiced by the occupation against the Palestinians, including the ongoing brutal war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, its crimes in the West Bank, its violations of religious sanctities, its plans to expand settlements and Judaize Jerusalem, and its restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid to civilians, will not succeed in forcing the Palestinian people to leave their land or in confiscating their legitimate rights. 

In this context, the Ministry stresses the need for the international community to unite with determination to confront the extremist and provocative policies of the Israeli occupation, in order to prevent the continuation of the cycle of violence in the region and its spread to the world. 

The Ministry also reiterates that the only guarantee for achieving sustainable peace in the Middle East is reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and the two-state solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent, viable Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and ensures the Palestinian people enjoy their inalienable rights.
