Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani on Wednesday called for the establishment of a “regional system of collective security,” asserting that its absence lies “at the heart of the dangerous situation” confronting the region, Anadolu reports.
Addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly, Al-Thani said the crisis in the Gulf could be resolved diplomatically through the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a return to negotiations aimed at preventing war and ensuring regional security “for the entire region, including Iran.”
He emphasized that Qatar has consistently pursued the resolution of disputes through dialogue and negotiations, adding, “This remains our position in the aftermath of the wars we have been witnessing.”
Al-Thani stressed that unresolved conflicts become increasingly costly without just settlements.
The Qatari emir described what has taken place in the Gaza Strip as “genocide in every sense of the word,” calling it “the stain of shame on the conscience of humanity as a whole.”
“There can be no talk of a just international order as long as Palestine remains a blind spot within it,” Al-Thani added.
Condemning Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank, he said the “aggression” has expanded into neighboring countries, threatening the security of the region as a whole.
The emir also condemned Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Syria, noting that Tel Aviv appears to act as though it “maintains tutelage over the countries in the region.”
