Doha: Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, affirmed that the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, held in Doha yesterday to address the Israeli aggression, was a clear demonstration of Arab and Islamic steadfastness, as well as solidarity with the State of Qatar.

He stressed that Qatar highly values these firm positions and extends its profound appreciation to Their Majesties, Highnesses, and Excellencies, the leaders who responded on such short notice to participate in the summit.

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' weekly briefing, Dr. Al Ansari stressed that the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha sent an unequivocal message that any attack on the State of Qatar is unacceptable to the Arab and Islamic nations as a whole.

He pointed out that the statement issued by the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at its extraordinary session in Doha yesterday included clear measures to address the Israeli attack. He added that this message of solidarity was significant and resonated internationally -- not only in Qatar and across Arab and Islamic countries, but also worldwide.

He noted that the statement explicitly referred to one of the Council's established mechanisms, which is activated when any of its member states is subjected to aggression. Accordingly, the extraordinary session was convened in Doha in solidarity with the State of Qatar, marking an important step in reaffirming the GCC's firm stance against attacks on any of its members by external parties.
