Declaration by the Council of Ministers<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The State of Qatar, which has constantly given its utmost support to the fraternal Palestinian people and backed its just struggle to regain its legitimate rights, first and foremost its right to self-determination and to establish an independent State on its own soil under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization, its sole legitimate representative, declares that it warmly welcomes the historic decision issued by the Palestine National Council at its nineteenth extraordinary session, held in the Democratic Republic of Algeria from 12 to 14 November 1988, to declare the establishment of an independent Palestinian State on Palestinian soil.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The State of Qatar, in declaring its recognition of the Palestinian State, expresses its sincere wish that the heroic struggle of the fraternal Palestinian people, which is engaged in resisting the odious Zionist occupation and which has set admirable examples of courage and displayed a spirit of self-sacrifice, will culminate in a clear victory and that the Palestinian people will attain its noble goal of living as a fully independent master of its land in complete freedom and dignity.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
