In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful,

Prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad,

Your Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani,
Your Highnesses and Excellencies,
Peace, God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

I would like to begin by expressing my deepest condolences to Your Highness, my brother Sheikh Tamim, and to the people of Qatar, over the victims of Israel’s brutal aggression against your country.

We condemn this aggression as a flagrant violation of international law, and a dangerous escalation that pushes the region into further conflict.

We stand with you with all our resources, and we support any steps taken to confront this aggression and protect your security, stability, and the safety of your people. Qatar’s security is our security; its stability is our stability; and our support for you is absolute.

My brothers,

Israel’s aggression against Doha came nearly two years since it launched its barbaric war on Gaza. Two years of killing, destruction, and starvation of innocent people. Throughout this period, Israel has violated international law and all human values.

Israel has gone too far in its illegal actions in the West Bank, which impede the two-state solution and undermine prospects for a just peace, as it also continues to threaten the security and stability of Lebanon and Syria.

And now, it has violated Qatar’s sovereignty and security. 

The Israeli government continues to cross every line, with impunity, because the international community has allowed it to be above the law. 

And we in the Arab and Muslim world must review all our instruments of joint action to confront the threat posed by this extremist Israeli government.

Our summit today must produce practical, actionable decisions to confront this danger, to stop the war on Gaza, to prevent the displacement of Palestinians, to safeguard Jerusalem and its holy sites, and to protect our shared security, our interests, and our future.

The aggression against Qatar shows that the Israeli threat does not stop at borders. Our response must be clear, decisive, and deterrent.

Thank you.
