The State of Qatar on Sunday called for an immediate, comprehensive and impartial international investigation into the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip.

The Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani reiterated his country's strong condemnation of the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman said that Qatar has made great efforts in mediation to stop this war of revenge, and will continue its efforts with all active countries to resume the truce to reach a permanent ceasefire.

On December 7, a temporary truce between the Palestinian resistance factions and Israel, which was brokered by Qatar and Egypt and lasted 2 days, ended during which prisoners were exchanged and humanitarian aid was brought into the Gaza Strip, which is home to about 3.<> million Palestinians.

The truce came after a devastating war waged by Israel on the Gaza Strip, since the seventh of last October, which left massive destruction in infrastructure and tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, as well as an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to official Palestinian and UN sources.
