In a powerful address at the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit held in Doha, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar, has accused Israel of committing “collective genocide” in the Middle East. The Emir’s remarks come amid escalating tensions and violence in the region, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon.
During his speech, Sheikh Tamim highlighted the severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, describing it as an area “unfit for human habitation” due to ongoing military operations.
The Emir also criticized the recent Israeli air strikes and military incursions into Lebanon, which have resulted in significant casualties and destruction. He called for immediate international intervention to halt the violence and protect civilian lives.
Sheikh Tamim’s statements reflect Qatar’s longstanding position on the Middle Eastern conflict, emphasizing the need for a just and lasting peace. He reiterated Qatar’s commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause and called for renewed efforts towards a comprehensive ceasefire and peace negotiations.
The Emir’s condemnation of Israel’s actions has drawn significant international attention and is expected to influence ongoing diplomatic discussions regarding the Middle East crisis.
