Qatar announced Saturday it will host a summit of Arab and Muslim leaders to condemn Israel’s recent attack on Hamas officials in Doha and to express solidarity with the Gulf state.
Monday's meeting would consider "a draft resolution on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar" to be drafted Sunday at a ministerial meeting, said foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari.
The summit reflected "broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar in the face of Israel's cowardly aggression... and the categorical rejection of Israel's state terrorism", he said, quoted by the official QNA news agency.
Among the leaders attending will be Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan will also be in Doha, but his presence at the meeting is yet to be confirmed.
Israel targeted Hamas leaders Tuesday in strikes on the Qatari capital, killing five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer.
