Leaders of Arab and Muslim nations presented a united front against
Israel and its "belligerent" actions in the Middle East at a summit in
Doha on Monday.

The summit was held in the aftermath of Israel's attack on the Hamas negotiating team in Qatar, which Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said has taken "Israel's banditry" to a different level.

"Tnrkiye always stands by its friendly and brotherly ally Qatar," he
said, adding that the Arab-Islamic summit in Doha demonstrates the
Islamic world's unwavering support for Qatar.

"We are facing (Israel's) terrorist mentality that feeds on chaos and
blood, and a state that embodies it ... we must intensify our
diplomatic efforts to increase sanctions against Israel," he said.

Erdogan also urged the Islamic world to thwart Israel's expansionist
ambitions.

"It is undeniable that the Netanyahu government's goal is to continue
massacres and genocides in Palestine while also causing instability in
the region," said the Turkish president, who added that "the Islamic
world has the means and ability to thwart Israel's expansionist
ambitions."

Opening the summit earlier, QatarAs Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al
Thani accused Israel of disregarding its hostages in Gaza and focusing
solely on making the territory uninhabitable.

The emir defended his country's efforts to find a solution to the Gaza
conflict and said: "A state that is working in a consistent manner for negotiations, a state that is party to the negotiations and yet
aggresses the venue (where) the negotiations take place?"

"If Israel wishes to assassinate the Hamas leaders, why then engage in negotiations?"

"If you wish to insist on the liberation of hostages, why then do they assassinate all negotiators? How can we host in our country
negotiating delegations from Israel while they send drones and planes
for an air raid against our country?

"There is no need for questions. This is just cowardly aggression, and
there is no room to deal with such a party.o

Al Thani said: "Israeli attack on Qatar proves hostage release not
priority for Israeli government."

"We must take concrete steps confronting the Israeli government's
bloodlust," he urged the leaders attending the summit, adding that
"Israel's 'extremist settlers' government wants to make sending jets
to the region a routine occurrence, as it dreams of making the Arab
region its sphere of influence."

Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said that the Israeli government's actions were destroying all foundations for future
peaceful coexistence, making a dark future for generations to come.

'Crossed all red lines'
EgyptAs President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said this "important summit
convened at a critical moment where grave challenges faced by the
entire region."

"Let me make it clear. This belligerence reflects clearly that Israeli practices have gone beyond diplomatic and military logic. They have
crossed all red lines. We strongly condemn Israeli belligerence on
Qatar," he added.

EgyptAs el-Sissi said that Israel must understand its security and
sovereignty will not be achieved by force, but rather by respecting
the law and the sovereignty of states.

"IsraelAs arrogance requires a shared vision for regional security and cooperation," he said, adding that Egypt reaffirms its complete
rejection of targeting civilians and starving an entire people.

Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in response to HamasA Oct.
7, 2023, incursion and since then it has also waged attacks on Iran,
Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and now Qatar.

ThatAs led to wider anger among Mideast nations already enraged by the
nearly 65,000 Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza u and a growing
concern that the U.S. commitment to protect Gulf Arab states may not
be strong enough.

JordanAs King Abdullah II says the attack on Doha was "living proof"
that the threat of Israel was "without limits."

"Our response must be clear, decisive and, above all, deterring," he
said.

He said that Israel has continued its expansionist policies in the
occupied West Bank, undermining the possibility of a two-state
solution, adding that the summit must produce practical decisions to
confront IsraelAs actions, end the war in Gaza and prevent the further displacement of Palestinians.

"It is time for the international community to stop applying double
standards and punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed,o
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's prime minister and
foreign minister, told a meeting Sunday.
