Doha: In a recent editorial, Al-Watan newspaper focused on the remarks made by HE Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, at the International Conference on the Peaceful Resolution of the Palestinian Issue. Held at the initiative of Saudi Arabia and France, the conference addressed the ongoing conflict in the region. Sheikh Mohammed emphasized Qatar's unwavering support for the two-state solution and the need for international action to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians facing blockade and displacement.
According to Qatar News Agency, the Prime Minister's statement outlined a clear strategy for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is escalating due to increased violence and calls by some Israeli extremists to reoccupy Gaza. Such actions threaten to further destabilize the region. The conference highlighted the necessity for concrete steps toward a peaceful solution and the implementation of the two-state solution. Additionally, France and 14 other countries issued a joint appeal to recognize the State of Palestine, urging more nations to follow suit.
Al-Watan concluded its editorial by stressing the importance of urgent international efforts that go beyond mere recognition of the State of Palestine. The focus should be on achieving a just and comprehensive solution through established international frameworks and laws.
In a separate editorial, The Peninsula newspaper highlighted local advancements in healthcare, particularly the contributions of Sidra Medicine. As part of Qatar Foundation's commitment to quality healthcare, Sidra Medicine has pioneered adolescent medicine, including the launch of Qatar's first comprehensive adolescent Eating Disorders Clinic in 2025. This initiative addresses disorders like Anorexia Nervosa and co-occurring mental health issues, setting a new standard for regional pediatric care.
The Peninsula noted that these efforts underscore Qatar's growing prominence as a center for advanced healthcare in the MENA region. Through a blend of innovative medicine and empathetic care, Sidra Medicine is not only enhancing adolescent health but also offering hope for improved quality of life.
