The Peninsula newspaper highlighted in its editorial HH the Amir’s statement, which said that “the blatant aggression that befalls the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip today is the
most barbaric, heinous and extensive in breaching human values, international charters and norms. This is not a war within the international relations well-known and common concept of war, but rather a crime of genocide by means of using the most sophisticated weapons against a people besieged in a detention camp where there is no escape from the barrage of aerial bombing.” It pointed out that the Israeli occupation forces have been using excessive force and aggression and targeting the civilians in Gaza and have now started bombing innocent people in Lebanon, noting that the genocidal action by Israel has claimed thousands of lives including women and children.

The newspaper concluded by noting that HH the Amir concluded his speech at UNGA by saying “we affirm that the State of Qatar will spare no effort in working with its international partners and the United Nations to firmly consolidate the pillars of peace, security, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law at all levels and to address
global challenges in order to achieve a better future for all.”
