Qatar strongly condemned on Saturday the irregular armed forces' storming and vandalizing of its embassy in Khartoum, reported the state news agency (QNA).

Embassy staff had been previously evacuated, and no one was harmed in the incident.

In a statement on Saturday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the need to spare embassies, diplomatic missions, headquarters of international organizations, and civilian facilities the consequences of the fighting in Sudan.

It demanded that the perpetrators be brought to justice, saying such attacks are a violation of international law and agreements.

The ministry reiterated Qatar’s call for an immediate halt to the fighting. It urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, return to reason, prioritize the public interest and spare civilians the consequences of the fighting.

Doha hopes that all parties will pursue dialogue and peaceful means to overcome differences, it added.

OIC Condemns Statements by Israeli Officials on Imposing Sovereignty Over West Bank

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the statements by officials in the Israeli occupation government calling for annexing and imposing the alleged Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

 

It is considered a flagrant violation of the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, and an attempt to undermine international efforts geared toward a two-state solution, SPA reported.

The OIC warned of the dangerousness of such statements and continued incitement pursued by the Israeli occupation's leaders and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people as well as their land and sanctities.

It reiterated its call for the international community to recognize the State of Palestine, endorse its full membership at the United Nations, and take the required measures to end occupation and illegal settlement of the occupied Palestinian territories pursuant to the relevant UN resolutions and the advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice.
