Qatar joins Arab ministerial meeting to address Israeli violations in occupied Jerusalem
Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani led a delegation to an Arab ministerial meeting in Amman addressing Israeli policies in occupied Jerusalem. The meeting coordinated international action against settlement expansion and escalating violence, with participants launching a joint initiative to address illegal Israeli measures.
Qatar participated in an emergency gathering of Arab foreign ministers convened in Amman to develop coordinated responses to Israeli actions in occupied Jerusalem. The Qatari delegation was headed by the Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister, alongside counterparts from Arab nations and representatives from Türkiye, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The meeting centered on what participants characterized as dangerous and unprecedented escalation in Israeli activities affecting occupied Jerusalem, including actions targeting Islamic and Christian holy sites and the status quo at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
During the gathering, the Qatari leadership emphasized the importance of maintaining diplomatic channels and dialogue to address regional tensions. The Prime Minister stressed support for implementing understandings reached through the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, and highlighted the necessity of protecting freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. He also reiterated Qatar's backing for de-escalation efforts and comprehensive agreements aimed at achieving sustainable regional peace.
On the margins of the ministerial meeting, the Qatari Prime Minister held bilateral discussions with Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty. These talks addressed bilateral cooperation between the two nations, regional developments, and Arab coordination regarding Israeli actions in occupied Jerusalem. The discussions also covered diplomatic initiatives to reduce tensions and strengthen regional security and stability.
The meeting reflected growing Arab concerns about increased settler violence in the occupied West Bank and Israeli policies perceived as expanding territorial control. Palestinian sources have documented over 11,000 settler and military attacks across the occupied West Bank during the year, coinciding with intensified settlement expansion. Israeli authorities have announced significant funding allocations for archaeological site development and control across occupied Palestinian territories, including the Jordan Valley.
