Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani has accused Israel of carrying out “collective genocide” in the region.
The Emir who stated this on Thursday, during the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit in Doha, said his country has always warned of Israel’s “impunity.”
“It has become crystal clear that what is happening is genocide, in addition to turning the Gaza Strip into an area unfit for human habitation, in preparation for displacement,” he said.
The Qatari Emir also condemned Israeli air strikes and military operations “against the brotherly Lebanese Republic,” the English Alarabiya News reports.
Meanwhile, Israel has strongly objected to accusations it is committing genocide in Gaza, where it launched an assault a year ago after Hamas militants attacked southern Israeli towns, killing about 1,200 people and capturing more than 250 hostages.
Since then, more than 41,500 Gazans have been killed during the Israeli assault, according to health authorities in the territory.
This week, Israel launched a ground incursion in Lebanon against the Iran-backed Lebanese movement Hezbollah, which has been firing into Israel in what it says is solidarity with the Palestinians.
In the last one week, Israel has killed more than 1,600 in Lebanon in its airstrike.
