On Thursday, Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani described the situation in Gaza as a "collective genocide," highlighting the dire conditions that have rendered the area uninhabitable.
He criticised Israel for its "impunity" and reiterated Qatar's long-standing concerns regarding the violence.
The emir also urged serious efforts for a ceasefire to halt Israel's aggression against Lebanon, asserting that lasting peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
