The State of Qatar strongly condemns the statements made by Heritage Minister in the Israeli occupation government regarding the threat to strike the besieged Gaza Strip with a nuclear bomb. It considers this a serious incitement to a war crime and a disregard for human and moral values and international laws.

Noting the leniency of the occupation government to the Minister’s threats by merely suspending his membership, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that these hateful and provocative statements represent an extension of the escalatory policy adopted by the Israeli government in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Ministry also stresses the need for the international community to act urgently to protect the Palestinian brothers trapped in Gaza Strip. 

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterates Qatar’s firm position on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the brotherly Palestinian people, and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
