King Hamad emphasized the importance of establishing a final and just peace in the region, stating that humanity must triumph and prevail in the battle for peace.
He highlighted the increasing responsibility in protecting the joint Arab process due to the continuing risks surrounding Arab national security.
The King also stressed the need to open a new chapter of stability and development that brings the Arab world closer to its legitimate aspirations as a civilized force capable of understanding the era's requirements and keeping pace with its progress.
Regarding the Palestinian people, he expressed concern that they are still denied their legitimate rights to security, freedom, and self-determination.
According to SPA, he called for a joint and urgent Arab and international position to be formulated, adopting the path of dialogue and collective solidarity to halt the bloodshed of wars.
