Islam Times – There must be an end to Israel\u2019s occupation of areas in southern Lebanon, a senior Qatari official said, condemning the Tel Aviv regime\u2019s deadly attacks on the Arab country.Speaking in an interview with Al Jazeera on Monday, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said Israel\u2019s continued presence in Lebanese territory \u201cmust end\u201d and stressed that Lebanon\u2019s sovereignty \u201cmust be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also denounced as \u201cunacceptable\u201d Israel\u2019s killing of nearly 100 Lebanese over the past few days.<\/p>\n

The Qatari prime minister further criticized Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for fueling tensions, saying it was \u201cnot the first time\u201d he had done so in the region.<\/p>\n

The Tel Aviv regime has been furious over a temporary Tehran-Washington ceasefire that put a halt to the 40-day illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran earlier this year.<\/p>\n

On June 18, Iran and the US signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that calls for a permanent end to hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Since then, however, Israel has kept bombing Lebanon and occupying parts of the country\u2019s south, where it has imposed a so-called \u201cYellow Line\u201d \u2014 a coercive military buffer resembling the regime\u2019s notorious control measures in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

The occupation\u2019s military escalated its strikes on Lebanon on Friday and Saturday, killing 105 people across the country.<\/p>\n

Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 4,100 people and injured over 12,000 others since March 2, according to official Lebanese figures.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Sheikh Mohammed urged caution regarding the talks between the United States and Iran, warning that \u201cexternal circumstances\u201d could still affect the negotiations despite the \u201cwill\u201d demonstrated by both sides.<\/p>\n

He said that the main objective of the Iran-US MoU is to stop the war and establish a framework for negotiations.<\/p>\n

The deal, he added, creates an \u201cinstitutional framework for the negotiating process\u201d and requires both sides to \u201cmeet regularly\u201d to resolve outstanding issues.<\/p>\n

During the talks in Switzerland on Sunday and Monday, Iran and the US agreed to a roadmap towards a final deal within 60 days, while technical talks between lower-ranking officials will continue for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n

The Qatari premier said the framework presented during the talks in Switzerland was \u201cpositive\u201d and that technical discussions were continuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome of any agreement between Iran and the US would affect not only the two parties, but the region,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sheikh Mohammed said that there is a \u201cconsensus\u201d among the Persian Gulf Arab countries on pursuing dialogue with Iran, expressing hope that the current diplomatic momentum would also benefit Palestinians \u201cthrough the achievement of a Palestinian state.\u201d \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Islam Times – There must be an end to Israel\u2019s occupation of areas in southern Lebanon, a senior…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":173482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[32],"tags":[605,3758,594,6266,3067,4133,18083,53311,1555,9192,1965,11130,595,598,625,2412,93,27043,13359,591,2861,3852,35731,5414,3759,8837,1039,4132,596,25329,599,603],"class_list":["post-173481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lebanon","tag-a","tag-an","tag-arab","tag-areas","tag-attacks","tag-aviv","tag-be","tag-condemning","tag-country","tag-deadly","tag-doha","tag-end","tag-in","tag-islam","tag-israels","tag-israeli","tag-lebanon","tag-must","tag-occupation","tag-of","tag-official","tag-on","tag-qatari","tag-regimes","tag-said","tag-senior","tag-southern","tag-tel","tag-the","tag-there","tag-times","tag-to"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116798580783732791","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=173481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/173481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/173482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=173481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=173481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=173481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
