Israel’s war on Gaza represents ‘turning point’ in Middle East: Qatar’s top diplomat
Israel’s war on Gaza represents a “turning point in the history of the Middle East and the world”, according to Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
Qatar’s top diplomat made the comments during a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. “We are still waiting for the international community to stop the war,” Sheikh Mohammed said, adding that the GCC must push for a permanent ceasefire.
“The State of Qatar has worked since last October alongside its regional and international partners to achieve a permanent ceasefire and resolve the crisis to prevent the opening of other fire fronts in the region,” he said.

Hundreds of Spanish protesters lay on the ground at the Guggenheim Bilbao in a demonstration to draw attention to the growing civilian casualties in Gaza.
“I have come here to show my support for the Palestinian people and my disapproval of Netanyahu’s government,” one protester, Rober Diaz Letamendi, told Al Jazeera. “He has no right. It’s a genocide.”
