Doha discusses with Washington and Paris the genocide in Gaza and developments in Syria
On Tuesday, Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani discussed with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and French Secretary of State Jean-Noël Barrot the latest developments in the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip, in addition to developments in Syria.
This came during two phone calls received by the Prime Minister of Qatar from the two ministers, according to two statements by the Qatari Foreign Ministry.
According to the two statements, the discussions during the two calls included "the latest developments in the Gaza Strip," which has been subjected to Israeli genocide for more than a year.
With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 150,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
In the context, the discussions included the latest developments in Syria after the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime.
The Qatari Foreign Ministry quoted Al Thani as stressing "the need to ensure Syria's unity, and work towards a peaceful transfer of power, through an inclusive political process, based on Security Council Resolution 2254, and to enhance efforts to protect civilians and combat terrorism."
Resolution 2254 was issued by the United Nations in 2015, and expresses support for a Syrian-led political process facilitated by the United Nations, which establishes credible, inclusive, non-sectarian governance, and sets a timetable and process for drafting a new constitution.
On Sunday morning, the Syrian opposition factions entered the capital Damascus and took control of it, with the withdrawal of regime forces from public institutions and streets, thus ending the 61-year era of the bloody Baath Party regime and the 53-year rule of the Assad family.
