Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, in his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, described what happened in the Gaza Strip as 'a stain of shame on the forehead of all humanity' and 'genocide in every sense of the word.' The Emir warned that Israeli occupation leaders have begun to openly declare that displacing the Strip's residents, which they call 'migration,' is the most suitable solution. He affirmed that those who consider displacement a solution may work to obstruct anything that would facilitate the lives of Gaza's residents. He stressed the necessity of the occupation fulfilling its commitments, including ceasing operations, withdrawing from the Gaza Strip, and lifting the siege. He said that Qatar has not stopped since day one from exerting mediation efforts until a ceasefire agreement was reached, and continues to work on solidifying it and transitioning it into lasting peace. He added that Israeli aggression has extended to neighboring countries and threatens the security of the region, including Syria. He affirmed that Qatar will continue its role as a trusted mediator, considering that time does not resolve outstanding conflicts but rather multiplies their cost. He also expressed Qatar's support for political tracks in Libya, Yemen, and Lebanon.
