International gathering supports Qatar following Israeli aggression
In the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike last week that targeted Hamas officials on Qatari soil, resulting in the death of six individuals, the Middle East finds itself in a tense standoff. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has urged Qatar to expel Hamas leaders or hand them over, threatening that Israel would take action if they do not. However, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani has asserted that the attack would not deter Doha's mediation efforts with Egypt and the U.S. to end the ongoing Gaza war.
The Israeli strike on Qatari soil has become a topic of international concern, with the UAE summoning the Israeli envoy in protest. The UAE's actions indicate a strong stance against the Israeli strike, emphasizing the importance of Qatar's stability for the Gulf's security. The U.S. has expressed disapproval of the incident and President Donald Trump stated that the Israeli strike does not serve American or Israeli interests.
The U.S. continues to support Qatar, a stance reiterated by President Trump. The Abraham Accords, the agreement under which the UAE normalized relations with Israel, seem to have been tested by this recent escalation. The draft resolution for an emergency summit of Arab and Islamic leaders, scheduled to open in Doha, Qatar, on Monday, condemns Israel's attack as a destabilizing escalation and rejects attempts to impose a new reality in the region.
The leader of Israel who demanded at the Doha summit that Qatar exclude or extradite Hamas leaders to Israeli authorities was none other than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Eliminating Hamas remains a "worthy goal" according to President Donald Trump. However, Qatar has dismissed the pressure from Israel, accusing it of "state terrorism" and undermining peace efforts.
The draft resolution for the summit does not propose sanctions or diplomatic measures, but it is clear that the international community is calling for a de-escalation of tensions. The UAE has stressed that Qatar's stability is vital to the Gulf's security, and the U.S. has expressed its support for Qatar's mediation efforts. As the region grapples with the aftermath of this incident, the hope remains for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing Gaza conflict.
