   🇶🇦 Qatar · Day 1Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani

   • Israeli aggression, marked by arrogance and hubris, has expanded to encompass neighboring countries, affecting the security of the region as a whole. Israel continues its blatant attacks against Syria and is occupying more Syrian territories and adding them to the Golan heights which it has occupied since 1967, without even bothering to provide any justification other than its own assessment of the nature of the political system that emerged there in Syria after the removal of the previous regime. As though it maintains tutelage over the countries of the region, it publicly declares that it is not bound by its understandings with Lebanon. It insists on continuing its occupation of Lebanese territories and seeks to assume a policing role there. 4:00:56Copy
