The State of Qatar strongly condemned the Israeli threats to storm Rafah City in the southern Gaza Strip, warning of a humanitarian disaster in the city that became a last resort for hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the besieged strip.

In a statement Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for urgent action that prevents the Israeli occupation forces's invasion of Rafah and the commission of genocide in the city, in addition to providing full protection for the civilians under international law and international humanitarian law.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs underscored the State of Qatar's categorical rejection of the attempts of forced displacement of the fraternal Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry also reiterated the State of Qatar's unwavering stance on the justice of the Palestinian cause, the legitimate rights of the fraternal Palestinian people and the establishment of their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
