Leaders from across the Arab and Islamic world gathered in Doha on Monday for an emergency summit on what they described as “a reckless Israeli attack” targeting a senior Hamas delegation in the Qatari capital. Speakers at the meeting denounced the strike, warned of mounting regional danger, and called for a united front to stop further escalation.

Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, told delegates that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought to “turn the Arab region into an Israeli sphere of influence,” noting that the latter had recently declared that “a Palestinian state will never be established.” Sheikh Tamim vowed that Qatar “will take all necessary, practical and firm steps permitted under international law.”

Arab League

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said the assault on Doha “exceeded every limit.” He added, “The attack on civilians and negotiators is vile and cowardly, and boasting about it reflects an abyss of moral collapse.” He warned that “silence over crimes in Gaza has led the occupation to believe every act is possible.”

Iraq

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani called the strike “an escalation sending a negative signal for peaceful solutions,” adding that “what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank is no longer a violation of international law but an unprecedented human ordeal.” He urged agreement on “a comprehensive roadmap to halt fire in Gaza,” and reiterated Iraq’s condemnation of “military aggressions targeting nations and peoples.”

Jordan

Jordan’s King Abdullah II offered condolences to Qatar’s leadership and people, stressing that the summit “must deliver a solution to lift the region from the Israeli threat, end the war on Gaza, and safeguard al-Quds.”

Egypt

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said the assault “poses a threat to Arab and Islamic national security,” warning that the occupation’s government “has crossed every red line.” He stated that “its security will only be achieved through respect for international law and the sovereignty of states,” and cautioned that continued Israeli attacks “undermine any new peace agreements.”

El-Sisi rejected “any proposal that would displace Palestinians from their land,” affirming that “the just and comprehensive solution is to end the occupation and establish a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East al-Quds as its capital.” He also called for “an Arab mechanism to confront surrounding challenges” and stressed “no acceptance of violations against Arab states’ sovereignty.”

Turkey

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned that “the Islamic Ummah is capable of foiling Israel’s expansionist ambitions.” He said Netanyahu’s government “has attacked Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Tunisia, and today it assaulted Qatar,” accusing it of “pushing the region into chaos while pursuing genocide against the Palestinian people.”

Erdogan said the Islamic world had “the strength and the means to thwart Israel’s expansionist ambitions,” warning that Tel Aviv “will not stop unless faced with a firm response.” He urged economic pressure on the Israeli occupation, noting that sanctions and boycotts had “proven their effectiveness.” Erdogan vowed to “continue the struggle until an independent Palestinian state is established on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital,” rejecting any forced displacement of Palestinians.

Palestinian Authority

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared that “any assault on an Arab or Islamic state is an attack on our shared security,” and insisted on “practical measures to prevent Israeli aggression.” He stressed that “Israel’s extremist government cannot be a partner for security in the region.”

Tajikistan

Tajik President Emomali Rahmon said the Israeli government “is obstructing all efforts for peace in the region.”

Iran

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the attack on Qatar as “a blatant act of aggression,” recalling that Gaza “is suffering today, with more than 64,000 people killed through bombing and starvation.” He warned that “there is no Arab or Islamic country outside Israel’s targeting,” and urged unity against “this arrogant entity.”

Djibouti

Djibouti’s President Ismail Omar Guelleh called the strike “an attack on every Arab and Muslim, a flagrant challenge to international law.” He voiced solidarity with Doha and pressed for “real action beyond statements of condemnation, toward decisive deterrence.”

Lebanon

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun said the strike aimed to “assassinate mediation and negotiations,” stressing that “after the attack on Doha, the picture is clear and the response must be equally clear.” He urged a unified stance at upcoming UN meetings in New York, apologizing for “repeating words of condemnation that frustrate Arab and Islamic peoples.” Aoun added that Lebanon remained “ready for peace if Israel truly wants it, on the basis of the Arab Peace Initiative.”

The summit closed its session by recalling that the Israeli raid on Doha targeted a senior Hamas negotiating delegation. Hamas said in a same-day statement that the Israeli occupation had “failed in its attempt to assassinate the delegation,” underscoring the need for “collective measures to safeguard mediation efforts and regional stability.”

Arab, Islamic countries meet to discuss strike

Arab and Islamic foreign ministers on Sunday declared that Qatar’s security is “an integral part of Arab and Islamic national security,” during a closed-door meeting in Doha ahead of an extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit set for Monday to address the Israeli assault on Qatar.

According to participants, the ministers stressed that the Israeli strike on Doha represented a breach of international law and a dangerous escalation threatening Arab, regional, and international stability.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Majed al-Ansari, said the summit reflects broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with Doha and underscores the firm rejection of what he described as state terrorism practiced by the Israeli regime. He added that Monday’s emergency summit would discuss a draft statement on the Israeli aggression, prepared during Sunday’s ministerial session.
