DUBAI: Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday that an emergency Arab-Islamic Summit set to take place in its capital Doha will discuss a draft resolution on Israel's attack against the Gulf state, according to the Qatar News Agency (QNA). 

“The summit will discuss a draft resolution on the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar, submitted by the preparatory meeting of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers, which will be held tomorrow Sunday,” foreign ministry spokesperson Majid bin Mohammed Al Ansari told QNA.  

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced earlier that Doha will host an extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit to discuss the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar targeting senior Hamas leaders. 

Al Ansari emphasized that “the convening of the Arab-Islamic Summit at this time has its significance, as it reflects the broad Arab and Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar in confronting the cowardly Israeli aggression.” 

The preparatory meeting of foreign ministers will happen on Sunday. The summit will then convene on Monday.
