"We are saying enough is enough," Qatari Emir told a meeting of the Shura Council, Qatar's legislative body, according to a statement released by the royal court.
"It is untenable for Israel to be given an unconditional green light and free licence to kill, nor is it tenable to continue ignoring the reality of occupation, siege and settlement."
"It should not be allowed in our time to use cutting off water and preventing medicine and food as weapons against an entire population," the emir said, referring to Israel's siege of Gaza.
"We call for an earnest regional and international stance regarding this dangerous escalation that we are witnessing, and which threatens the security of the region and the world."
He added: "We would like to ask those who have aligned with the war, and those acting to gag any dissenting opinion: what would come in the aftermath of this war? Would it bring security and stability to Israelis and Palestinians? Where would the Palestinians head for afterwards?"
Since the start of Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, Israel has continued its intense bombardment of Gaza, killing over 5,000 Palestinians, including approximately 2,000 children.
Numerous buildings have been reduced to rubble, and over a million individuals have been displaced in the besieged territory. Essential resources such as water, food, and other basic supplies are becoming increasingly scarce.
