Head of the Palestine Scholars Association Dr Marwan Abu Ras lauded Qatar’s pro-Palestine position and stressed Palestinians’ support for the government and people of Qatar.
“We are here today in the blockaded Gaza Strip to tell the world that our sole enemies are the Israeli colonizers who forced us out of our own and only lands” said Abu Ras. “It is high time Arabs and Muslims combined forces in the face of the Israeli occupation.”
“We Palestine Scholars hail all those who have rallied round the Palestinian people and Gaza. We are most grateful to Qatar which has left its stamp in every street and at every home in besieged Gaza” he said.
“Our homes have been lit infrastructure rehabilitated and hospitals equipped thanks to Qatar” added Abu Ras as he paid tribute to the Qatari government and NGOs.
He slammed the Israeli occupation and all the other parties who have been involved in underway schemes to tighten grip around Gazans’ neck and famish the Palestinians.
