Arab, Muslim Leaders Hold Emergency Talks After Israel's Qatar Attack
Leaders from Arab and Muslim countries will gather in a show of unity in Doha on Monday, a week after Israel's unprecedented strike on Hamas in Qatar prompted widespread anger.
The joint Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation emergency summit seeks to pile pressure on Israel, which has been facing mounting calls to end the war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Hamas says top officials survived last week's air strike in an upmarket Doha neighbourhood that killed six people and triggered a wave of criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump.
"The time has come for the international community to stop using double standards and to punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed," Qatari premier Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told a preparatory meeting at the weekend, adding Israel's "war of extermination" in Gaza would not succeed.
A draft final statement seen by AFP warned that "brutal Israeli aggression" put efforts to normalise relations between Israel and Arab states at risk.
Israel and its main backer the United States have been trying to extend the Abraham Accords that established ties with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco in 2020.
