Persian Gulf Countries Condemn ‘Greater Israel’ Map
DOHA (Dispatches) – Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia all condemned an ‘Israeli map’ on official social media claiming ‘historic territorial rights’ over Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, Anadolu News Agency reports. According to the report, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry described the map as a “defense of international legitimacy resolutions” and stated that such provocations were destabilizing, particularly during the Gaza war. The ministry also asked the world to press the Zionist regime into following international law and stopping its expansionist policy. The report added that the UAE condemned the map, too, as “a concerted attempt to extend the occupation” and a “defense to international law”. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry also joined the outcry and called the Zionist regime out for “expanding its occupation”, the report says.
