Today NG, September 24, 2017 - Saudi Arabia clearly demanded Qatar to commit to the principles of the international law in fighting terrorism, calling on Doha to abide by commitments laid out in the Riyadh agreements of 2013 and 2014.Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir on Saturday told the United Nations General Assembly at its 72 sessions that Doha’s practices of financial support to terror while disseminating hate speech is unacceptable,
and so is providing safe havens to those who violated the law and should be brought to justice.
“Riyadh will continue to counter terrorism in all forms and manifestations,” Jubeir added.
Referring to terrorism as “the biggest challenge facing the world,” Jubeir said Qatar was jeopardizing Saudi Arabia’s policy of combating extremism and terror financing.
The position taken by the four States was meant to demand that Qatar follow the principles of international law in fighting terrorism, he explained.
The 15-minute speech coincided with Saudi Arabia’s National Day, something Jubeir has referenced in his opening remarks.
“At a time when my country is celebrating its national holiday, I address you as a messenger of a state that has placed its people as its first priority and created partnerships around the world”, he said.
The Foreign Minister defined peace and security as key pillars driving both Saudi domestic policy and foreign policy.
