Mon Sep 15 15:11:28 UTC 2025: **Arab-Islamic Summit Convenes in Doha to Address Israeli Attacks**
**Doha, Qatar** – Representatives from the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convened in Doha on Monday for an emergency summit to forge a unified response to recent Israeli actions, including an attack on a Hamas office in Qatar that resulted in six fatalities on September 9th.
The summit follows a closed-door meeting of foreign ministers, where a draft resolution outlining concrete measures against Israel was prepared.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani urged the international community to abandon “dual standards” and hold Israel accountable for its actions. He condemned the attack and demanded “fierce” and “firm” measures in response. The Prime Minister also criticized Israel’s repeated stalling of Gaza ceasefire talks, stating that the “continuous genocidal war against the Palestinian people” will not succeed.
The attack on Qatar is part of a series of Israeli strikes beyond its borders.
The Arab League, established in 1945, comprises 22 member states, predominantly Arab-majority nations, with a collective population of nearly 500 million. Its aims include coordinating political stances, promoting regional solidarity, and safeguarding sovereignty.
The OIC, formed in 1969, represents 57 countries with significant Muslim populations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. With over 2.1 billion people, the OIC strives to protect Islamic holy sites, promote shared political and economic interests, and foster solidarity among Muslim-majority nations.
The OIC has consistently condemned Israeli actions, particularly concerning the occupation and military offensives in Palestine. The summit in Doha underscores the organization’s commitment to addressing these issues and seeking international accountability.
