Doha, September 15 (Petra) The Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha continued Monday with further strong condemnations from Arab and Islamic leaders of the recent Israeli attack on Doha and calls for collective action to halt Israel’s aggression against Gaza and the region.

Erdoğan urged Islamic countries to strengthen cooperation and apply economic pressure on Israel, while firmly rejecting the displacement of the Palestinian people.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas emphasised that peace and stability in the region are impossible without an end to what he described as Israel’s war of genocide, forced displacement and land theft.
He reiterated the Palestinian demand for an independent state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Abbas criticised Israel's far-right government as an obstacle to peace, calling for a decisive Arab-Islamic stance and international intervention particularly from the U.S. and the UN Security Council to stop Israel’s violations.
He thanked countries supporting the Palestinian people and delivering humanitarian aid.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the attack on Qatar as blatant terrorism intended to sabotage peace efforts in Gaza. He said Israel had crossed all red lines and called for accountability.
