Doha: Arab and international media outlets highlighted the inclusive speech of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani at the opening session of the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 79), which was held in New York on Tuesday. The speech of H H the Amir was met with great resonance and welcome in the Palestinian street which is following Qatar’s tireless efforts to stop the Israeli aggression against them. In this context, a report by the Turkish TRT Arabic TV highlighted the call of H H the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to stop the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, stressing in his speech before the UNGA that Qatar will continue to make efforts until a new agreement is reached to cease-fire in Gaza.

The report that came under the title “Amir of Qatar addresses the world before the United Nations: Stop the aggression on Gaza, stop the war on Lebanon,” noted that the most prominent part of H H the Amir’s speech was that he considered the aggression that the Palestinian people are being subjected to in Gaza is the most barbaric and heinous.
The Agency added that H H the Amir stressed that the failure to intervene to stop the aggression in Gaza is a major scandal,” noting that His Highness stressed that there are those who are tempted by the possibility of marginalizing the Palestinian cause, but the Palestinian cause is resistant to marginalization.

The agency noted the reaction of H H the Amir to the explosions of wireless communication devices in Lebanon and quoted His Highness as saying, “Apart from committing a major crime by rigging wireless communication devices and exploding them simultaneously across thousands of people with total disregard for their identity or location, Israel is currently waging a war on Lebanon and no one knows to what extent this war could escalate.”
