IP - Qatar’s foreign ministry has issued a statement saying that Israel alone is responsible for the ongoing escalation of violence with the Palestinian people.

Iran Press/ West Asia: Qatar calls on both sides to exercise utmost restraint and calls on the international community to prevent Israel from using these events as an excuse to launch a disproportionate war against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Early on Saturday, the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas launched a surprise attack from Gaza on Israel.

Ending the Israeli occupation, the only guarantee of peace

Meanwhile, The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said that ending the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories is the only guarantee for peace, security, and stability in the region.

“We have repeatedly warned of the consequences of a deadlock in the political horizon and not granting the Palestinian people their legitimate right to self-determination and their state. We have also warned of the consequences of the daily provocations and attacks, the continued terrorism of settlers and occupation forces, and the raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Christian and Islamic holy sites,” said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.

At least eight Palestinians have been killed and many others injured since early morning today in a series of Israeli aerial and artillery attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip, WAFA reported.
