DOHA, February 8, 2017 (WAFA) – Qatar called on the international community to hold its responsibility and adopt necessary measures to enforce the United Nations Security Council resolutions and compel Israel to end its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Qatari ministry of foreign affairs said in a press release it strongly condemns Israeli parliament’s passing of a law that legalizes settlements in private Palestinian land, including East Jerusalem.
The ministry considered the decision to pass this law a blatant violation of international laws and consensus, in particular UNSC resolution 2334 and a barefaced violation of Palestinians’ rights.
“The continuation of Israeli violations will undermine international efforts to achieve the two-state solution.”
