Qatar affirms impunity, nonaccountability encourage Israel to commit further violations, crimes against Palestinians
It called on the international community to take the necessary measures to stop these crimes, ensure accountability for those responsible, and compel Israel, the occupying power, to comply with international law and ensure the restoration of all the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, in particular the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent and fully sovereign State of Palestine on the borders of Jun. 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
This came in the State of Qatar's statement delivered by Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar in Geneva HE Dr Hind Abdulrahman Al Muftah, during her participation in the interactive dialogue with the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, Item 2, within the framework of the 59th session of the Human Rights Council.
She said that the report cited the seizure, theft, and destruction of Palestinian Islamic and Christian cultural and religious sites by the Israeli occupation forces and Israeli settlers, and the deliberate and unjustified targeting of educational facilities, particularly in the Gaza Strip, as well as UNRWA schools, despite being regularly informed of the coordinates of these schools and the lack of any evidence of military targets in these facilities. She said that these actions were a heinous crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and international human rights law.
The Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar in Geneva affirmed that this racist and criminal Israeli approach aimed to genocide the Palestinian people, displace them, and deprive Palestinian children and youth of their right to education, expand the scope of Israeli settlements, and undermine the identity and existence of the Palestinian people and their historical connection to the State of Palestine.
She also welcomed the members of the International Commission of Inquiry and thanked them for their efforts.

Brazil's Lula condemns Gaza ‘genocide'
Brazil's president says the world must act to stop what he describes as an Israeli 'genocide' in Gaza as leaders from 11 emerging BRICS nations gathered in Rio de Janeiro. 'We cannot remain indifferent to the genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza, the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians and the use of hunger as a weapon of war,' President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told leaders from China, India and other nations on Sunday. His comments came as Gaza truce talks between Israel and Hamas resumed in Doha and as pressure mounted to end the 21-month war, which began with Hamas's October 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel. Lula said 'absolutely nothing could justify the terrorist actions' on that day, which resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly Israeli civilians. But he also offered fierce criticism of Israel's subsequent actions. Israel's military campaign has killed at least 57,418 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians. BRICS countries have been in disagreement over how strongly to denounce Israel's bombing of Iran and its actions in Gaza. (Agencies)
