Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani called on Saturday for global attention to conflicts in the Middle East, similar to that enjoyed by Ukraine since the Russian operation, Agence France-Presse reported.
In a dialogue session on the first day of the “Doha Dialogue” forum in its twentieth edition, he said: “The human suffering that we saw in Ukraine, and everyone is talking about it now, is suffering that many countries in the region have endured for years, and nothing happened.”
“We have never seen a global response to address this suffering,” he added, noting in particular to “witnessing the brutality against the Syrian people, the Palestinians, the Libyans, the Iraqis, or against the Afghans.”
The Qatari Foreign Minister believed that “without accountability for those who committed these acts, we will witness more and more expansion of such behavior,” adding, “I hope this is a call for everyone in the international community to look at our region and address the issues that occur here with the same level of commitment that we have seen towards Ukraine.”
