We do not accept double standards on Gaza issue: Qatari Emir

We do not accept double standards on Gaza issue: Qatari Emir

TEHRAN, Oct. 24 (MNA) – Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani spoke in support of Gaza and condemnation of double standards, the continuation of the killing of civilians, and the unconditional support for the Zionist regime to kill Palestinians.

Qatari Emir on Tuesday urged the international community not to grant Israel regime "unrestricted authorization to kill" Palestinians in its fight against Hamas, in what he called a dangerous escalation that threatens global security, Reuters reported.

"We say enough. Israel shouldn't be granted an unconditional green light and unrestricted authorization to kill," Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said in an annual speech to open the Gulf Arab state's advisory Shura council, his first public comments since Qatar began its most recent efforts to mediate between Israel regime and Hamas.

"We call for a serious regional and international stance against this dangerous escalation that we are witnessing, which threatens the security of the region and the world,” Sheikh Tamim said.

"We do not accept double standards and acting like the lives of Palestinian children aren't accounted for, as if they don't have faces or names."

The Palestinian health ministry said the Gaza death toll had topped 5,000 in two weeks of Zionist Israeli regime's air strikes in response to Hamas' surprise Oct. 7 operation on southern occupied lands in which the Islamist Resistance group killed more than 1,400 Zionist settlers and soldiers and captured more than 200 prisoners of war and took them to inside Gaza.

Since then, wealthy gas producer Qatar has mediated the release of 4 of those prisoners by Hamas based on humanitarian round.
