Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar, to discuss the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar.

This Emergency Summit comes as an affirmation of Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar, and to crystallize a unified position towards this aggression, which constitutes a threat to security and stability in the region.

The meeting was attended by Their Excellencies the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Arab and Islamic States, as well as the Secretaries-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States (LAS).

In his address to the meeting, the OIC Secretary-General, H.E. Mr. Hissein Brahim Taha, stressed that the blatant Israeli aggression against the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, an active Member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the League of Arab States, constitutes a continuation of Israel’s expansion of the circle of war, a destabilization of regional security and stability, and a persistent violation of international charters, laws, and resolutions.

He further reiterated the necessity of redoubling efforts to hold Israel accountable for its violation of the sovereignty of the State of Qatar, and for committing crimes of genocide, settlement, and organized terrorism against the Palestinian people, and to support efforts aimed at implementing the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly on ending Israeli aggression, occupation, and settlement, and on implementing the two-State solution.

The OIC Secretary-General also commended the valuable efforts of the Joint Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee, chaired by H.H. Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and his wise leadership of the Committee’s endeavors, with a view to mobilizing the responsibility of the active parties in the international community to compel Israel, the occupying power, to comply with international law.
