The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a written statement regarding the events taking place in the Gaza Strip.

The statement included the following:

"Israel is solely responsible for the ongoing tension due to its continued violation of the rights of the Palestinian people, the latest of which are the raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque under police protection."

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY MUST TAKE ACTION

The ministry's statement further emphasized that "the international community must act urgently to compel Israel to stop its blatant violations of international law, to respect the historical rights of the Palestinian people and international legitimacy resolutions, and to prevent these events from being used as a pretext to ignite a new disproportionate war against Palestinian civilians in Gaza."
