00:00Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Your Highness, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the
00:10State of Qatar, Your Majesties, Heads of States, Highnesses, Excellencies, Distinguished
00:20Delegates, Brothers and Sisters, Assalamualaikum. We gather today on a very sombre and sorrowful
00:31occasion when the brotherly Islamic State of Qatar was treacherously targeted by an aggressor
00:40who violates international law without fear of any consequence.
00:47Iran strongly condemns Israel's reckless and provocative attack on Doha on September 9
00:57that was clearly aimed at sabotaging peace efforts in the Middle East. This was a flagrant
01:05violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar. We express
01:13our all-out support and solidarity with our Qatari brothers and sisters, Your Highnesses
01:21and Excellencies. Israel's assault against Qatar is not an isolated incident. It is yet another
01:30manifestation of its declared hegemonic ambitions. My dear brothers and sisters, even in war time,
01:40the role of peace mediators is always deemed invaluable and held sacrosanct. They are the messengers of
01:50fragile hope, hope of keeping dialogue alive to advance prospects of peace. One is therefore
01:59compelled to question, why then this charade of negotiations? Was the return of hostages ever
02:07a priority for a country that has no respect or regard for human life?
02:14Excellencies, we deeply appreciate Qatar's sincere and tireless diplomatic efforts guided by the able
02:22leadership of my dear brother the Amir, His Highness Sheikh Tamim in Hamad al-Thani. Qatar has consistently endeavoured to bridge divides and promote the noble cause of
02:35regional as well as global peace under the most daunting challenges. Ladies and gentlemen, while Gaza bleeds, the heart-wrenching cries of its innocent women and children echo through these halls. We can hear the frail voice of the ten-year-old boy, Amir, who walked twelve kilometres, barefooted for a few hours.
03:03Barefooted for a few morsels of bread only to be gunned down by Israeli soldiers along with sixty-four thousands of its fellow countrymen.
03:15Israel's genocide campaign has reduced Gaza to rubble and ruin. The world shall always bear the scars of this unending carnage etched on the very soul of humanity. Injustice has reached an unbearable level. This must stop and stop now.
03:38Four, Excellencies, Pakistan reiterates the following urgent and essential steps. Israel must be held accountable for its war crimes against humanity. Creation of an Arab-Islamic task force to adopt effective measures to ward off Israeli expenses designs.
03:59We reiterate the OEC's call to suspend Israel's membership of the United Nations. Fourth, member states should actively consider implementing other appropriate measures against Israel.
04:14The UN Security Council must urgently demand from Israel under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire, release of hostages, and exchange of Palestinian prisoners.
04:32Sixth, guaranteed, guaranteed, sustained, and secure humanitarian access to all civilians in need, and the protection of aid workers, medical teams, journalists, and UN personnel.
04:46Above all, Excellencies, we must achieve a just, comprehensive, and lasting two-state solution with creation of an independent state of Palestine with pre-1967 borders and Al-Quds al-Sharif as its capital.
05:05Majesties, Highnesses, Highnesses, Excellencies, Today, in this historic gathering, we have affirmed solidarity in our intentions, in our thoughts, and in our words.
05:21In unison, we have all condemned Israel's aggression.
05:25Let history record this great moment when we, the leaders of the Arab Islamic world, have chosen unity, dignity, and courage over silence and inaction.
05:40Otherwise, my brothers and sisters, may I submit in all humility, posterity will never forgive us.
05:49And in all, my brothers and sisters, I will ask you to finish this word with the word of Allah, and please accept Allah with all of us.
