Doha Hosts Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit After Israeli Attack

Qatar is set to host an emergency Arab-Islamic summit in Doha on September 14-15 to address the recent Israeli airstrike on the Qatari capital and its broader implications. The summit, which follows an initial meeting of foreign ministers, aims to develop a unified response to the Israeli attack and discuss regional security and peace efforts. Qatar's leadership has indicated a collective retaliation against Israel is being considered, with calls for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to be held accountable by the International Criminal Court. The summit occurs amid rising tensions, including funeral prayers for victims of the strike and the presence of regional leaders such as Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Saudi crown prince, showing solidarity with Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has maintained a hardline stance, warning Qatar to expel Hamas officials or face further attacks, exacerbating the conflict. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has also confirmed his invitation to the summit, emphasizing Malaysia's humanitarian stance on the Gaza situation while noting his prior commitment to Malaysia Day celebrations.
