AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Qatar has issued a sharp condemnation of recent statements by Israel’s Finance Minister, who announced his directive to prepare for the annexation of the West Bank.
He expressed hope that this plan could be implemented next year under a second term of former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced the statements by Minister Smotrich as a “blatant violation” of international law and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334, describing the comments as a dangerous act of provocation that could further diminish the prospects for peace in the region.
Qatar stated that the Israeli finance minister’s words reveal the ongoing obstacles posed by the occupation forces to achieving peace and stability in the region.
Doha called on the international community to stand firmly against Israel’s policies of settlement expansion, colonialism, and racism.
