The President of the Republic of Tajikistan expressed his country’s support for the “establishment of the State of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital based on the borders of 1967”.
Emomali Rahmon said at a meeting in Saudi Arabia, “this is the way through which the Palestinian people can exercise their original national rights as an independent entity of the international community based on recognized methods of interstate relations.”
An emergency meeting of Arab and Muslim countries was held on November 11 in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
The Gaza Strip has been subject to air and ground attacks by the Israeli army for five weeks. According to the Ministry of Health of Gaza, which is under the control of the militant group “Hamos”, more than 11 thousand people were killed during this period.
President Rahmon said at the meeting in Saudi on Saturday, “the crisis situation in this part of Palestine has made our countries and the international community very worried.”
“Tajikistan strongly condemns the attack on civilian facilities in this region, which has resulted in the killing of thousands of civilians, including women and children, the injury of a large number of people and the destruction of vital infrastructure,” he added. .
Israel continues to say it has asked Palestinians to leave the site of operations in northern Gaza and is targeting more militants. Telaviv, on the contrary, accuses the militant group “Hamos” of preventing the population from leaving and using them as a shield.
The latest conflict between Israel and the militant group “Hamas” began after the militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 240 hostages. The United States and the European Union consider the group “Hamos” a terrorist organization.
There have been repeated calls for a ceasefire and the protection of civilian lives in Gaza. Israel says that it will not accept any ceasefire proposal until the destruction of Hamas, but it has agreed to a 4-hour stoppage during the operation.
The President of the Republic of Tajikistan said at the Saudi meeting, “the Palestinian issue does not have a military solution… From our point of view, a real solution to the Palestinian issue, ensuring a just, lasting and long-term peace is possible only through the implementation of the decisions of the United Nations on the establishment of an independent State of Palestine.” .”
This is the clear position of Tajikistan in the case of the Gaza Strip and Palestine in general. Previously, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan expressed concern about the conflict in the Middle East without naming any country or group and called the parties to negotiations.
The Gaza Strip on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea was under the control of the Ottoman Empire until 1917. In the last century, it passed from British rule to Egypt and then came under the control of the Israeli army.
Now Burunboom, or the walled enclave, is home to more than two million Palestinians, but in the past five weeks, half of them have been displaced and homeless.
The organization of the state, Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem and the issue of asylum seekers are among the main issues of dispute between Israel and Palestine.
