Arab-Islamic summit condemns Israeli attack on Qatar, vows full solidarity

An emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha on Monday strongly condemned Israel’s strike on a residential area in Qatar, calling it a clear violation of international law and a threat to peace, Xinhua reported.

Chaired by Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the summit pledged full solidarity with Qatar and warned that targeting a neutral mediator undermines Gaza ceasefire talks and wider peace efforts.

Leaders denounced Israel’s actions in Gaza, urged sanctions and an arms embargo, and called for suspending Israel’s UN membership over repeated violations. They reaffirmed support for a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and praised Qatar’s role in mediation and humanitarian aid, according to Xinhua.

Emir Tamim said the summit sent a united message against Israel’s “state terrorism” and would strengthen collective Arab and Islamic action.
