Leaders attending an extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit on Monday declared that Israel had “crossed all red lines,” insisting the response must be “clear, decisive and deterrent.”

Doha hosted the summit, bringing together leaders from more than 50 nations, including members of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to discuss Israel’s recent strike on Qatar.

They emphasised that silence on Israeli crimes was no longer an option, stressing that Israel must be held accountable for violating the UN Charter and international law.

A group photo session was held before formal proceedings began.

Among the key attendees were Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Draft resolution warns of broken accords

Prior to the summit, foreign ministers finalised the draft resolution.

It noted that the attack on Qatar had endangered efforts to normalise ties between Israel and Arab states and cast doubt on existing agreements.

Leaders said unity across the Arab and Islamic world was now essential.

Pakistan calls for Israel’s UN membership suspension

In his address, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif denounced the strike as “naked aggression” and expressed Pakistan’s solidarity with Qatar.

He said the attack was not an isolated incident but part of Israel’s reckless policies.

Sharif recalled Qatar’s role as an honest mediator for global peace, describing its efforts as sincere.

He movingly invoked the plight of Palestinian children, recounting the story of a 10-year-old killed after walking miles for bread.

“Injustices have reached an intolerable level,” he said, adding that Israel must be held responsible for crimes against humanity.

He urged the UN to suspend Israel’s membership, demanded an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Palestine, and reiterated Pakistan’s support for a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.

Emir of Qatar: Israel sabotaging peace process

Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani welcomed leaders to Doha but condemned Israel’s actions as “a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

He said Israel had undermined the peace process by targeting Hamas negotiators in Doha.

The Emir accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians and warned that its “Greater Israel” agenda posed a grave threat to global peace.

He called Israel’s claims about peaceful hostage releases “false,” stressing that Tel Aviv had crossed every limit of crimes against humanity.

Arab League: ‘Enough is enough’

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit declared that the world could no longer remain silent.

“This rogue state’s bullying must end,” he said.

He warned that silence over Israeli crimes weakened the global order and emboldened Israel to believe it could act without consequence.

“Israel is spreading destruction, bloodshed and hunger across the region, dragging us back to an age of darkness,” he added.

OIC expresses full solidarity with Qatar

OIC Secretary-General Hissein Brahim Taha condemned the violation of Qatar’s sovereignty, saying the summit was an opportunity to adopt a united stand.

He urged Muslim nations to take firm decisions against Israel and called on the UN Security Council to ensure accountability.

He reaffirmed OIC’s commitment to the two-state solution and international conferences for Palestine’s cause, saying the summit’s outcome should strengthen Arab and Islamic unity.

Erdoğan: ‘No impunity for Israeli crimes’

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan strongly condemned Israel’s expansionist agenda, warning it posed risks not only for the Middle East but also for global peace.

He said Israel’s belief that it faced no accountability had fuelled its genocide of Palestinians.

“No concession can be given to its aggression and crimes,” Erdoğan declared.

He stressed that Israel had now even targeted mediating countries, including Qatar.

Egypt: Red lines crossed

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi thanked Qatar for convening the summit, insisting Israel had “crossed all red lines.”

He said the region was facing an extraordinary crisis and called Israel’s actions “a deliberate attempt to destroy peace.”

“Crimes against humanity cannot be exempted,” he said, warning that oppression and violence would never bring stability.

Iraq proposes NATO-style defense pact

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani proposed creating a NATO-style collective defense system for Arab and Islamic states, where an attack on one would be considered an attack on all.

He urged formation of a joint committee to represent a unified stance at the UN Security Council and other international platforms. He said the Israeli strike on Qatar was “a blatant violation of basic human principles” and demanded a comprehensive roadmap for an immediate ceasefire.

Abbas: Stop genocide, deliver urgent aid

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Israeli war crimes had “crossed every limit.”

He stressed the urgent need to stop the genocide of Palestinians and deliver humanitarian aid.

Abbas said the only path to peace was the establishment of a Palestinian state on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Jordan: Response must be deterrent

Jordan’s King Abdullah II said the Doha attack demonstrated the “unbounded dangers of Israel’s policies.”

He urged that the response must be “clear, decisive, and deterrent.”

He warned that Israel’s settlement expansion was eroding chances for a two-state solution and called for urgent action to halt war in Gaza and prevent further Palestinian displacement.

Arab League, OIC, Turkey, Egypt warn of escalation

Speeches across the summit echoed a common theme: Israel’s aggression threatens regional peace, and further silence could prove catastrophic.

Leaders warned that without accountability, Israel would expand its attacks beyond Gaza, destabilising the entire region.

US envoy to visit Doha

The US State Department confirmed that Secretary of State Rubio would travel to Doha after visiting Israel on Tuesday.

His stop in Qatar comes as the country hosts the emergency summit. After a short stay, he will depart for London to join U.S. President Donald Trump on an official visit.

Shehbaz Sharif’s sideline meetings

On the sidelines, Prime Minister Sharif held meetings with Turkish President Erdoğan, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim.

He also met leaders of Tajikistan, Egypt, and Malaysia. Abbas warmly embraced Sharif, underscoring Pakistan’s support.

The Pakistani delegation included Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, Information Minister Attaullah Tarar, and Special Assistant Tariq Fatemi.

Ishaq Dar proposes Arab-Islamic task force

Earlier, Ishaq Dar suggested forming an “Arab-Islamic Task Force” to monitor Israeli actions and push for suspension of Israel’s UN membership.
