Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani used his address at the United Nations to condemn Israel over the war in Gaza, telling Israel to stop crying anti-Semitism as a defence and accusing it of deflecting from the humanitarian crisis. The fiery speech criticised the conduct of military operations and its toll on Palestinian civilians, drawing wide attention across Middle East-focused media and social platforms.
