Qatar: Outrage over Israeli attack on Arab and Islamic Summit

Strong reactions are emerging from the Arab and Islamic summit in Doha following an Israeli attack targeting the Hamas negotiating delegation.

The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, described the attack as "cowardly" and emphasized that the war in Gaza has turned into a "war of extermination." He also mentioned that the Israel-Hamas negotiations were close to completion, with the help of Egypt and the United States, leading to the release of hostages.

The Emir criticized Benjamin Netanyahu, saying that he dreams of turning the Arab region into an Israeli sphere of influence, calling this vision a "dangerous illusion."

Hissein Brahim Taha, Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, expressed his solidarity with Qatar, while Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League, called on the international community to resist Israel.

The President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, condemned the attack, saying that Israel's practices have crossed the line, while the King of Jordan, Abdullah, described the attack as proof that Israel's threat is "unlimited."

The Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, proposed a collective NATO-style security response to attacks against Arab or Islamic countries, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan stressed that Israel aims to "drag the region into chaos."
