Doha: The State of Qatar welcomed the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adoption of a resolution supporting Palestine's eligibility of full membership in the international organization, and recommends that the UN Security Council reconsider the Palestinian request.

In a statement today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the State of Qatar's hope that the Security Council would respond to the UNGA's recommendation, so that Palestine would become a full member state in the United Nations, thus enhancing its position in the international system, enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, and paving the way for a just, comprehensive and sustainable solution to the Palestinian issue. The Ministry renewed the State of Qatar's firm position in support of the legitimate right s of the brotherly Palestinian people, foremost of which is their right to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
