Qatar's Emir Urges Ceasefire and UN Intervention to End Gaza Genocide

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani condemned the "genocide" in Gaza and accused the international community of turning their back on the Palestinian people. He called for a permanent ceasefire and criticized the "dual standards" of the international community. The Gulf Cooperation Council summit in Doha, attended by leaders of six Gulf countries and Turkey, is expected to focus on the war in Gaza, including the prospect of Qatar-brokered negotiations for a truce and discussions on reconstruction and post-war governance. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also called for accountability for Israel's "war crimes" and emphasized the need for a permanent ceasefire and uninterrupted humanitarian aid. The emir stressed that the struggle in Palestine is a national one and urged the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities and help end the war.
