At Muslim gathering on Doha strike, Gaza war
Qatar urges world to ditch double standards, punish Israel
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani urged the international community on Sunday to "stop using double standards" and punish Israel for its "crimes.”
Abdulrahman Al Thani was speaking at a preparatory meeting on the eve of an emergency summit of Arab and Islamic leaders organized by Qatar after Israel carried out an unprecedented air strike on Hamas leaders in Doha.
"The time has come for the international community to stop using double standards and to punish Israel for all the crimes it has committed, and Israel needs to know that the ongoing war of extermination that our brotherly Palestinian people is being subjected to, and whose aim is to expel them from their land, will not work, no matter what false justification is provided," the prime minister said.
Qatari prime minister said that the Israeli attack must be met with fierce and firm measures.
According to Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed al-Ansari, Monday's meeting of Arab and Islamic leaders will consider "a draft resolution on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar.”
Among the leaders attending will be Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas arrived in Doha on Sunday, on the eve of the summit.
On September 9, the Israeli regime launched a strike on Qatar’s capital, assassinating five officials of Palestinian Hamas resistance group as well as a Qatari security officer.
