Qatar confirmed that it will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel before resolving the conflict with the Palestinians, at a time when the UAE and Bahrain are signing a normalization agreement with Israel today in Washington.

The Qatari Assistant Foreign Minister, Lulwa Al-Khater, said in an interview with the US Bloomberg Agency, that normalization with Israel cannot be the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but rather the solution lies in implementing Security Council resolutions, granting the Palestinians their rights and finding a just solution to their cause.

The Qatari official added that the essence of the conflict relates to the harsh conditions under which the Palestinians live, as a people without a country, living under occupation (Israel).

She explained that her country does not believe that normalization was the core of this dispute, and therefore it cannot be a solution, without other details.

When asked whether there is pressure from the administration of US President Donald Trump on Qatar to sign an agreement with Israel, Lulwa Al-Khater said that the relationship with the United States is based on mutual respect, noting that the Palestinian issue and peace talks in Afghanistan are at the table of the third strategic dialogue held in Doha. .

The Emir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, met with Jared Kushner, senior advisor to the US President, and his accompanying delegation, in the Qatari capital, Doha, early this month.

The Emir of the State of Qatar affirmed his country's position calling for a just settlement of the Palestinian issue on the basis of international legitimacy decisions and the Arab Peace Initiative, and on the basis of the two-state solution, in a way that achieves security and stability in the region.

Today, Tuesday, the White House will host a signing ceremony for the agreement to normalize full relations between the UAE and Bahrain on the one hand, and Israel on the other hand, under the auspices of US President Donald Trump.

Regarding the Gulf crisis, the Assistant Foreign Minister reminded that her country had confirmed, since the beginning of the blockade in 2017, that it was an artificial crisis that could be easily avoided.

She added that in recent months there have been messengers and messages, and that Kuwait is playing a strong role and that the United States has increased its efforts to resolve the crisis, noting that it is too early to talk about a breakthrough, and she said that the coming weeks may carry new.

Regarding the new demands of the blockading countries, Lulwa Al-Khater emphasized that the 13 demands presented by the blockading countries ended a long time ago and became behind us.

She indicated that the point that we are addressing today is negotiations and an unconditional constructive discussion, and that these negotiations and discussions should not include all parties once, but rather they may include Qatar and some of the blockading countries.
