Doha (Daily Kausar News) An extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit convened in Doha has issued a strong declaration condemning Israel’s recent aggression against Qatar. Leaders from across the Arab and Islamic world, including Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, attended the emergency summit to demonstrate solidarity with Qatar and address regional security concerns.
Declaration Labels Israeli Attack as Cowardly and Illegal
According to the official communiqué, Israel’s attack on residential areas in Qatar was described as “cowardly, illegal, and a major obstacle to peace.” The statement emphasized that the aggression directly targeted buildings that had been designated to host international mediation delegations. The declaration asserted that this act of hostility represents an open aggression not only against Qatar, a sovereign UN member state, but also against the entire Arab and Islamic world, posing a dangerous escalation for regional and global peace.

Full Solidarity With Qatar
The participating countries reiterated their unwavering support for Qatar, affirming that any steps taken by Doha to ensure its sovereignty, security, and the protection of its people would be fully backed. The declaration stressed that Israel’s attack was not only an assault on Qatar’s independence but also an attempt to undermine ongoing ceasefire negotiations and prisoner-exchange efforts in Gaza.
Undermining Mediation Efforts
The communiqué highlighted that this aggression sabotaged the mediation roles of Qatar, Egypt, and the United States, who have been working towards a ceasefire in Gaza and facilitating humanitarian initiatives. Leaders praised Qatar’s constructive role in promoting peace, stability, education, and humanitarian assistance both in the region and globally.
Condemnation of Israeli Policies
The Arab-Islamic declaration strongly condemned Israeli policies aimed at forcibly displacing Palestinians from the territories occupied since 1967. Such actions were labeled as crimes against humanity and part of an ethnic cleansing strategy. The statement noted with alarm that Israel has been using hunger and medicine shortages as weapons against Palestinians, creating a humanitarian catastrophe. These practices were described as war crimes that require urgent international intervention.
Calls for Global Action
The summit urged the international community to take immediate and concrete measures to stop Israeli aggression, impose sanctions, halt arms supplies, and initiate legal proceedings against Israel. The declaration also denounced any attempts to justify Israeli aggression under any pretext, calling it a blatant violation of international law that undermines all efforts for a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian question.
