Storyline: Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani said on Sunday that Israel's recent attack on Doha will not prevent Qatar, Egypt and the United States from continuing their mediation efforts to end war in Gaza. The Qatari prime minister made the remarks during a closed-door preparatory meeting with foreign ministers from Arab and Islamic countries, held ahead of an emergency Arab-Islamic summit scheduled for on Monday to address the Israeli attack. The foreign ministers discussed a draft statement on the Tuesday attack by Israel on a residential building in Doha that housed several Hamas leaders. In his talks, Al-Thani stressed that the region cannot achieve comprehensive peace and security unless the Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights. Israel launched an unprecedented airstrike in the Qatari capital on Tuesday, targeting a building where Hamas officials were meeting to discuss the latest ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States. Five members of Hamas and a Qatari security officer were killed during the strike, while key members of the Hamas negotiating team survived. Representatives present at the preparatory meeting unanimously condemned the Israeli attack as a "cowardly and brutal aggression", believing that this move was a blatant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and seriously trampled on international law and diplomatic norms. Secretary-General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul-Gheit, when addressing the preparatory meeting, called for resolutely responding to the Israeli assault on Qatar and urged Arab and Islamic states to work together to halt what he called Israel's "criminal war machine." According to reports, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani also addressed the meeting, warning that Israel's aggression will not stop at Qatar. He urged Arab and Islamic countries to form a joint defense alliance to resist Israel's aggressive actions in the region. On the same day, Al-Thani held talks with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Doha to discuss the recent Israeli attack on Qatar. Shotlist: Doha, Qatar - Sept 14, 2025: 1.
