"Bloody Two-Year Period": High-Ranking UAE Diplomat Labels Israel's Attack on Doha as 'Treasonous'
In a significant development, an emergency Arab-Islamic summit was held in Doha on Monday, following Israel's strike on Hamas members in Qatar. The gathering, attended by nearly 60 countries, was a joint session of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Dr Anwar Gargash, the UAE's diplomatic advisor, was among the key figures at the summit. He reaffirmed the Emirates' solidarity with Qatar, stating that the ties between the two nations are based on a shared destiny that spans decades and crises.
Dr Gargash's statements were a strong condemnation of Israel's recent actions. He described the current situation as a "geopolitical earthquake" with humanitarian repercussions, and asserted that Israel's actions have redrawn the political map over the past two years, causing far-reaching consequences.
However, Dr Gargash did not mention any specific actions the UAE or other Arab nations plan to take in response to Israel's actions. He suggested that each party should focus solely on its own fate.
The joint statement from the summit urged "all States to take all possible legal and effective measures to prevent Israel from continuing its actions against the Palestinian people". The statement also urged member states to "coordinate efforts aimed at suspending Israel's membership in the United Nations".
The specific actions of Israel that Dr Gargash is referring to were not explicitly stated by the UAE. However, it is known that members of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation participated in the summit, where strong criticism of Israel was expressed.
Among those present that recognise Israel were Qatar's fellow Gulf nations, the UAE and Bahrain, along with Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco. Notably absent, according to Dr Gargash, is a comprehensive Arab project for stability.
The recent escalations in the Israel-Hamas war have triggered a wave of condemnations towards Israel's actions. Dr Gargash's statements at the summit are a clear indication of the growing international pressure on Israel to reconsider its actions against the Palestinian people.
