As always His Highness Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, may Allah protect him, touches the aspirations and stances of the Muslims in all countries of the world, stressing the necessity of reaching a just solution to the Palestinian issue which is the last colonial case which still exists in the world.
Under the current situation and talks about the ‘deal of the century’, it has become more apparent after moving the US embassy to Jerusalem which is the eternal capital of the State of Palestine, that the city cannot be divided into two parts for the Palestinians in particular and the entire Islamic world in general.
In the light of all these developments, the Emergency Summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) on Palestine in Istanbul, was called by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss and take measures that serve the Palestinian cause and stand in the face of new colonialism.
The speech of H H the Amir was at the heart and touched the attitudes and feelings of all Muslims. The massacre against peaceful demonstrators deepens the feeling of injustice and the incapability of the international community was highlighted in the speech, citing the history of the Palestinian cause and situations it has undergone since the Nakba in 1948, and the subsequent resolutions, stressing the right of return for refugees which was approved by the United Nations in its resolution 194 of December 1948.
None of the Amir’s speech at international forums or local events has come without mentioning the Palestinian cause and call for a just solution that guarantees a decent life for Palestinians like other peoples of the world.
This is the second extraordinary summit held in Turkey in a short period of time, at the invitation of the Republic of Turkey, to which we have all respect and appreciation, both its leadership and the people, for their positions in support of the Palestinian cause on all international forums and conferences.
The courageous positions of Qatar have not been hampered by the unjust siege, because it is a State with unquestionable principles and positions that are consistent with the teachings of the true religion, Arabism, humility and the principles of international law.
Qatar is moving toward the bright future in a steady and confident way and has not seen what is being waged by sceptics and conspirators against its success regionally and internationally, standing against what is contrary to the principles of the United Nations, human rights and international conventions.
It is a fact that in Qatar we do not see the blockade as a stumbling block in our development, because we have become stronger than before and started to rely on ourselves away from the dependence on others. Due to this siege, we discovered the extent of the deep hatred that ‘some’ had for Qatar’s successes and excellence in international forums.
In his speech to the Islamic world, the Amir did not mention the siege but left it behind as Qatar has become an icon for its impressive progress. We are moving towards further advancement with all love and affection among the people and unity around its leadership making miracles towards the future of Qatar.
