UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) – Concrete steps need to be taken to reach an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli occupation of all Arab territories, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said on Tuesday in his address to the UN General Assembly.
“There is no point in talking about security, peace and stability in the Middle East region and across the world, if not backed by concrete steps leading to an immediate ceasefire and an end to the Israeli occupation of all Arab territories,” Al Than said.
The Qatari leader called the situation in Gaza “the most barbaric, heinous, and extensive aggression” violating human rights and norms.
