Why it matters:
The Israeli regime's airstrike on a Hamas headquarters in Doha, Qatar, was a clear violation of the country's sovereignty. The summit could shape a unified regional response and redefine the alliances among regional countries against foreign powers.
The big picture:
Yesterday evening, news sources reported more than 10 strong explosions in Qatar. Explosions in the center of Doha were followed by columns of smoke rising from the "Katara" area. The target was reported to be the residence of several members of Hamas's political bureau in Doha, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The Israeli attack drew extensive international condemnation.
What he's saying:
Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani told CNN that the summit will convene soon in Doha, where participants will “determine the path of response.”
He dismissed threats from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating that Qatar is working with regional partners to formulate a “real response capable of halting Israeli aggression.”
