هل تعلم ان مملكة إسرائيل كانت قائمة منذ 3000 سنة؟

أول ملك حكمها لمدة 40 عاما كان الملك شاؤول (1050--1010) ق. م. ثم تلاه الملك داود الذي حكمها 40 عاما تقريبا (1010-970 ) ق.م. وعقبه الملك سليمان الذي حكم ايضا لمدة 40 عاما في الفترة (970-931) ق.م.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry characterized the publication of the map as "a flagrant violation of international legitimacy resolutions and the provisions of international law."

In a statement, the ministry emphasized that such claims would undermine prospects for peace in the region, particularly amid the ongoing and severe aggressionin the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, Qatar urged the international community to "fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by pressuring the Israeli occupation to comply with international legitimacy resolutions and confront its expansionist ambitions in Arab lands."

The condemnation from Qatar reflects a broader sentiment among several Arab nations, including Palestine and Jordan, who have also expressed their disapproval of the map.
