Qatar calls for closer Arab solidarity in face of Israel
DOHA, oct 9 (KUNA) -- Qatar on Wednesday called for a closer Arab
solidarity surpassing issuance of rhetoric statements that of no use to the
palestinian people and that belittled the Arab nation, to providing tangible
action translated into reality to enable defending "our common cause, the
cause of the palestinian people".
Qatar, in a statement issued following a cabinet weekly session, condemned
the massacre and brutal practices committed by Israeli occupation troops in
Khan Younis, Gaza last Monday in which tens of unarmed Palestinians martyred
and injured.
The cabinet reiterated that last Monday's massacre and inhumane violations
against Palestinians constituted a continuation of the brutal and aggressive
policy Israel is perperating in open defiance to international legitimacy
resolutions and international conventions and norms.
The cabinet stressed that such Israeli policy necessitated that the Arab
nation had to forge closer solidarity to enable defending the cause of the
Palestinian people.
The cabinet appealed to the international community to shoulder its
responsibilities by providing international protection to the Palestinian
people and putting an end to the constant Israeli aggression.
The cabinet reiterated that commitment to international legitimacy rules
and hounoring commitments were the best way for achieving security and
stability and in the region.(end)
