Association for Defending Victims of Terrorism – Qatar’s emir branded Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as tantamount to a “21st-century apartheid system in broad daylight.”
Speaking at the UN General Assembly, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said it was “unacceptable” that the Palestinian people continued “to languish under the yoke and intransigence of Israeli occupation.”
During a general debate on the issue, he noted that concern was growing even among traditional supporters of Israel over its policies.
And he pointed out that the failure of the international community to act against the Israeli occupation had provided, and continued to provide, an opportunity for Israel to undermine the foundations of a two-state solution.
