HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed the necessity of opening humanitarian corridors in a sustainable manner to ensure the continued entry of aid to the Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip, and to provide the necessary protection for relief convoys until they reach the northern Strip.
During the meeting, His Excellency stressed that the State of Qatar is committed, along with its mediation partners, to continuing efforts to return to calm, leading to a permanent ceasefire, stressing that the continued bombing of the Gaza Strip after the end of the humanitarian pause complicates mediation efforts and exacerbates the humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip.
