The State of Qatar has stressed that the policies and practices adopted by the Israeli government to support expansionist settlement activities in the territory of the State of Palestine further deepen the occupation and undermine the two-state solution.
The State of Qatar emphasized that the behavior of the Israeli occupation forces in the aggression against the Gaza Strip, the war of extermination it is waging, the forced displacement of Palestinians, their starvation, and the destruction of infrastructure and homes, reinforces the idea of re-settling the Strip.
Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar in Geneva HE Dr Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah affirmed that Israel has blatantly ignored all international resolutions related to the Palestinian issue, particularly those relating to settlements. Israel has ignored the Security Council Resolution 2334 of 2016 and the Advisory Opinion issued by the International Court of Justice on July 19, 2024, which affirmed that Israel’s establishment of settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law, and that all states are obligated not to recognize Israel’s legal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory and not to provide it with assistance.page 3
