The Emergency Joint Arab-Islamic Summit
The Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit will kick off on Monday, September 15, 2024.
Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Egyptian Expatriates Affairs, headed to the Qatari capital, Doha, on Saturday, September 13, 2025, to participate in the preparatory ministerial meeting for the emergency joint Arab-Islamic summit to discuss the Israeli attack on the sisterly State of Qatar.
Foreign ministers from Arab and Islamic countries will convene in Doha on Sunday to draft a resolution in response to the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar on the 9th September, 2025, that targeted a residential compound housing Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital, ahead of an emergency Arab-Islamic Summit on Monday.
The emergency summit, held amid widespread regional and global condemnation of the attack on Doha and Tel Aviv’s 23-month-long genocidal war on Gaza, will be attended by leaders of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, including Turkey, Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Malaysia.
The spokesperson for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, stated that holding the summit at this time carries “many meanings and implications,” most notably reflecting the “broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar” in the face of the “cowardly Israeli aggression.”
On September 9, 2025, Israel launched 10 missiles and targeted a meeting of Palestinian leaders in the Qatari capital, Doha, while they were discussing means to reach a ceasefire agreement. The attack killed five Hamas officials and a Qatari security national, while the senior leaders like Khalil Al Hayah and Zaher Jabbrin survived the assassination attempt.
Egypt expressed on Tuesday its strong condemnation and denunciation of the aggression carried out by the Israeli occupation forces against Qatar.
According to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, Abdelatty will conduct talks with Qatari senior officials. He will also discuss ways to deal with the Israeli escalation.
In a presidency statement, it was stated that this attack is a ‘flagrant violation of international law and the principles of respect for the sovereignty of states and their territorial inviolability’.
Egypt affirmed in the statement that this attack sets a dangerous precedent and an unacceptable development and is considered a direct assault on the sovereignty of Qatar, which plays a key role in the mediation efforts to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
