Qatar’s Emir at Arab-Islamic Summit: “We Will Confront Israeli Aggression”

Verified Insights PK reports that Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has strongly condemned Israel’s recent attack on Doha. Speaking at the Arab-Islamic Emergency Summit, he accused Israel of trying to block peace efforts in Gaza and warned against Israeli expansion in the Arab world.

Israeli Strike on Doha

The emir said that Israel carried out a “blatant and cowardly” attack on September 9. The strike hit a residence that hosted families of Hamas leaders and negotiators. Six people were killed.

Qatar described the assault as state terrorism. The attack shocked citizens and sparked widespread global condemnation. Sheikh Tamim vowed that Qatar would defend its sovereignty and “do whatever is necessary to confront Israeli aggression.”

Blocking Peace Efforts

Sheikh Tamim stressed that Israel’s strike proves it does not want peace. He said the attack was aimed at destroying negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire.

“Anyone who targets negotiators is working to end talks,” he said.

The emir accused Israel of trying to make Gaza unlivable as part of a plan to force its people out. He described Israel’s war on Gaza as a “war of extermination.”

Global Reaction and Condemnation

The United Nations Security Council, including the United States, condemned the attack on Doha. Qatari leaders warned that Israel’s actions threaten regional stability.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, however, has threatened more attacks on Hamas leaders in Qatar. This is despite U.S. President Donald Trump telling Sheikh Tamim that such strikes will not happen again.

The Arab Peace Initiative

Qatar reminded the summit that Israel has long rejected the Arab Peace Initiative. The plan, first introduced in 2002, offered peace and full normalization with Arab states if Israel withdrew from the occupied territories.

“If Israel had accepted this plan, the region would have avoided countless tragedies,” Sheikh Tamim said.

GCC Pledges Support

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) declared full solidarity with Qatar. Members promised to activate joint defense systems and take steps to deter future threats.

The summit, which included leaders from both the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), also called for international accountability. They demanded urgent global action to stop Israel’s attacks and questioned whether Israel should remain a UN member given its repeated violations.

Conclusion

As reported by Verified Insights PK, the summit showed united support for Qatar and strong condemnation of Israel. Sheikh Tamim warned that Israel’s expansionist vision is dangerous and unrealistic. He vowed that Qatar will continue to defend its sovereignty while working for peace in the region.
