Qatar To Host An Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, Monday, To Express Rejection Of The Israeli Aggression Against Doha
Baghdad / NINA /- Qatar will host an extraordinary Arab–Islamic summit on Monday to discuss the repercussions of the Israeli strike that targeted Hamas leaders in Doha, in a move aimed at expressing solidarity with Qatar and rejecting the attack.
According to the agenda, leaders will review a draft final statement prepared during Sunday’s ministerial preparatory meeting, which is expected to reflect a united Arab and Islamic stance against the aggression, moving beyond the usual condemnations. The Arab and Islamic public is also awaiting the options leaders will put forward at the summit.
The summit underscores the broad international solidarity with Qatar, as most countries, excluding the United States, condemned the Israeli raids, describing them as a blatant violation of sovereignty and a grave breach of international law and norms, amounting to “state terrorism.”
Observers note that the Israeli attack on Doha has revived a sense of Arab nationalism and reinforced the conviction that the target is not Qatar alone, but the entire region. This realization has triggered an unprecedented wave of Arab and international support for Qatar, manifested in intensive visits and communications by international delegations.
The summit is expected to conclude with decisive resolutions that set clear “red lines” against Israeli actions, adopting a firmer stance on Palestine and stronger measures in response to Israel’s policies in the region.
The convening of the Arab–Islamic summit at this particular time carries profound significance, reflecting the depth of solidarity with Qatar in the face of the Israeli assault that targeted residential premises of several Hamas leaders. Participants reaffirmed their categorical rejection of what they described as “Israeli terrorism” against the Palestinian people, stressing that the latest aggression on Qatar represents a major turning point, not only in relation to the Palestinian cause but also in shaping broader regional political developments.
All indications suggest that this emergency summit is unlike previous traditional gatherings, as it takes on exceptional importance by convening at a decisive moment that underscores a shared perception: the threat is no longer confined to one state, but rather jeopardizes the entire regional security and stability framework. The summit is therefore expected to mark a shift from mere condemnations and rhetoric toward concrete measures to confront Israel’s expansionist policies.
The meeting also serves as a critical test of the ability of Arab and Islamic capitals to formulate a unified position that integrates legal, political, and diplomatic tracks. It aims to revive Arab nationalism, reshape regional priorities, and push toward effective resolutions and new international alliances that move beyond Western dominance, thereby strengthening Arab–Islamic unity in confronting Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people.
Observers believe the summit’s outcomes will go beyond condemning the attack on Qatar. They are expected to reinforce a renewed Arab awareness of the challenges and dangers posed by Israel’s policies of occupation and expansion, policies that rely on unwavering U.S. support and exploit the paralysis of the international system under American influence./ End
