His Highness the Amir of the State of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani called for a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian crisis but reminded the world to give as much attention and effort to resolving “all those forgotten or ignored conflicts”.
Addressing World Economic Forum, HH the Amir said solving dispute through aggression is on the rise, and it has reached one of its worst peaks, in the war in Europe.
“We are in touch with all parties concerned in the Ukrainian crisis, and I am ready, to contribute to every international and regional effort, to find an immediate, peaceful solution to the conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine,” he said.
“As we rightly-apply laser-focus to find a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian crisis, I hope we can equally give as much attention and effort to resolving, all those forgotten or ignored conflicts. They all deserve peace, security, and dignity.”
The most glaring example is in Palestine, which has been an open wound, since the establishment of the United Nations, he said.
“Those families have been occupied for decades, with no relief in sight. The escalation, in illegal settlement aggression, has been relentless, and the same goes for the continual attacks against the Palestinian people. I keep praying that the world wakes up, to the injustice, and violence, and finally acts.
“Shireen Abu Akleh, a Christian, Palestinian-American journalist was killed two weeks ago in Palestine, and then robbed, of a dignified-burial. Shireen was covering the suffering, of the Palestinian people for decades, and our hearts, are broken.
“Her death was just as horrific as the seven journalists killed in Ukraine since March of this year, ...and the 18 other journalists killed in Palestine since 2000, and the many other journalists killed in the line of duty in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
