"An emergency summit of Arab and Islamic country leaders held in Doha has condemned Israel's cowardly attack on Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, but the participants made no promises of concrete action. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)'s pledge to activate a joint defence mechanism may have been the most actionable result of the summit, which was opened by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who called the Israeli bombing blatant, treacherous, and cowardly."
"My country's capital was subjected to a treacherous attack targeting a residence housing the families of Hamas leaders and their negotiating delegation, Sheikh Tamim said in his opening speech. The Hamas leaders had been meeting to discuss the latest United States-backed proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza. Sheikh Tamim called for concrete steps to address the state of madness of power, arrogance, and bloodthirstiness obsession that has befallen the government of Israel, and what resulted and continues to result from it."
Arab and Islamic leaders convened an emergency summit in Doha to condemn Israel's attack on Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital. The summit produced no specific action commitments beyond the Gulf Cooperation Council's pledge to activate a joint defence mechanism. Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani described the bombing as blatant, treacherous, and cowardly and said the strike targeted a residence housing families of Hamas leaders and their negotiating delegation. Participants said the attack undermined peace efforts and suggested Israel had no genuine interest in ceasefire negotiations. The GCC announced consultations among military bodies and a Unified Military Command meeting in Doha to strengthen deterrent capabilities.
