At Arab-Islamic summit, Qatar slams Israel for 'treacherous, cowardly' Doha strike

DOHA, SEP 15 (DNA) – Qatar strongly condemned Israel’s recent attack on its capital, describing it as a “treacherous and cowardly act” aimed at destabilising the region.

Speaking at the Emergency Arab–Islamic Summit convened in Doha, Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani accused Israel of deliberately undermining peace efforts in the Middle East. He said the strike on September 9 was not only an assault on Qatar but also an attack on Arab and Islamic unity.

Al Thani criticised Israel’s insistence on continued aggression despite international appeals for restraint. “This strike exposes Israel’s true intentions — to derail dialogue and impose its will through force,” he said, urging collective action to counter Israeli provocations.

The Qatari leader called on the United Nations Security Council and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take urgent steps to hold Israel accountable. He emphasised that Israel’s actions violated international law and threatened global peace.

The summit, attended by leaders from across the Muslim world, reflected a rare show of unity. Delegates reaffirmed solidarity with Qatar and stressed that the Muslim Ummah stood together against unlawful aggression, pledging coordinated diplomatic and political efforts.
