I just spoke with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim, following yesterday’s Israeli strikes in Doha. I told him: these strikes are unacceptable. I condemn them. I reaffirmed France’s commitment to the sovereignty and security of Qatar. I expressed my wish that negotiations for the release of all hostages still held by Hamas, as well as for the implementation of a ceasefire, resume without delay. I paid tribute to Qatar’s constant efforts toward this goal. This permanent state of war in Gaza cannot continue. Two peoples, two states. Peace and security for all. We are working toward this with all our partners, in view of the upcoming Conference on the two-state solution to be held in New York on September 22.
