Foreign ministers gather to set agenda for emergency OIC-Arab League summit on Israeli attack in Doha
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday attended the foreign ministers' meeting in preparation for a joint extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation-Arab League in Doha.
The summit came after Tuesday’s Israeli airstrike on a residential compound in Doha that killed five Hamas members, as the group was reviewing a US proposal to end the war in Gaza, where nearly 65,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 2023.
Arab and Islamic foreign ministers began a closed-door preparatory meeting in Doha on Sunday ahead of Monday’s emergency summit, which will bring together heads of state.
The gathering is also expected to discuss the long-proposed activation of a joint Arab military force, an initiative first advanced by Egypt nearly a decade ago.
