Doha: Doha is preparing to host an extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit in response to Israel’s recent strike on Qatari territory that killed senior Hamas leaders.

The meeting, set to open on Monday, will follow preparatory talks among Arab and Islamic foreign ministers. Qatar’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that a draft resolution has been drawn up for consideration, framing the summit as a show of solidarity with Qatar against what it described as cowardly Israeli aggression.

The attack has triggered strong reactions across the region and beyond. The United Arab Emirates and Indonesia expressed firm support for Qatar, while Jordan’s foreign minister engaged in talks with the United Kingdom and Turkey on the matter, linking it to the wider crisis in Gaza and the West Bank.

The United States voiced displeasure at the incident, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed it would not alter Washington’s relationship with Israel.He added that discussions are underway on how the attack could affect ongoing truce efforts.

Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate. More than 250,000 residents have fled Gaza City after intensified Israeli airstrikes, though many remain trapped under dire conditions due to limited safe passage and scarce resources.

On the diplomatic front, the United Nations General Assembly recently passed the New York Declaration, co-sponsored by Saudi Arabia and France, calling for a two-state solution and a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation has urged immediate steps to implement its provisions.

The Doha summit is expected to highlight Arab and Islamic consensus against Israeli actions while exploring measures that could influence both the humanitarian and political dimensions of the conflict.
