The Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad al Thani, has denounced that the situation in the Middle East amounts to a “collective genocide” and has maintained that “the key to lasting peace” lies in the establishment of a Palestinian State on the borders of 1967. “The two-state solution, with the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian State on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, is the key to lasting peace in the region,” he said during the Cooperation Dialogue in Asia in the capital, Doha. Likewise, he has warned of the “impunity” that Israel enjoys while turning the Gaza Strip into “an uninhabitable place”, while calling for “serious efforts for a ceasefire to stop Israeli aggression against Lebanon”, as reported the Qatari television channel Al Jazeera. The resurgence of the conflict in the region derives from the attacks perpetrated on October 7, 2023 by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and other Palestinian factions against Israeli territory, which left some 1,200 dead and led Israel to unleash a bloody offensive against the Gaza Strip that already leaves nearly 41,700 dead, to which more than 700 are added in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The attacks of October 7, called ‘Al Aqsa Flood’ by Hamas and its allies, also led to the opening of the front on the border between Israel and Lebanon, with constant fighting for more than eleven months that has led to a new invasion of Lebanese territory by Israel. In addition, Houthi rebels in Yemen and pro-Iran militias in Iraq have launched missiles and drones against Israel – which has carried out bombings against territory in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen – in response to its offensive against Gaza. For its part, Iran launched its second missile attack against Israel on Tuesday, in what it described as a response to the death of the leader of the political arm of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Ismail Haniye, in an attack in Tehran at the end July and that of the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah, in an Israeli bombing against the capital of Lebanon, Beirut.
