Qatar to host preparatory meeting for Arab-Islamic summit
Ministers will meet in Qatar on Sunday to prepare for the Arab-Islamic summit that Doha will host the following day following Israel’s unprecedented strikes on the Qatari capital.
Qatari foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said Saturday that Monday’s summit will discuss “a resolution on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar,” which will be drafted during Sunday’s ministerial meeting.
The summit reflects “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”, al-Ansari was quoted as saying by the official Qatar News Agency.
The summit comes after Israel attempted to assassinate Hamas senior leaders in an air strike on Qatar on Tuesday, escalating its military campaign in the Middle East and prompting a flurry of international condemnations.
