Post Israel’s 9 September 2025, cowardly attack on Doha, an Arab-Islamic summit will take place tomorrow on 15 September 2025 at Doha. As expected the Muslim nations would issue a Resolution that would support for Qatar against Israel’s cowardly aggression, and categorical rejection of Israel’s state terrorism. Will this suffice and Israel would mend her ways by not daring attack any Muslim country again? Muslim countries before agreeing to a joint declaration and course of action against Israel and her allies must bear in mind that a similar action that has been agreed upon at Doha summit will be followed in case of any future attack or breach of sovereignty of a Muslim state.

Wisdom demands that it is not an appropriate time to retaliate, launch a counter attack or even issue a direct threat. Nevertheless, Tel Aviv must be made clear that Muslims have decided to give a befitting response at a appropriate time and space to compel Israel respect UN Charter, International Law as well as to teach a lesson that neither this time nor in the future there will compromise over breach of sovereignty of any member Muslim state.

Qatar has reserved her right to immediately retaliate and would avenge the breach of her sovereignty at another appropriate time and space under the international law and justice system. The prevailing situation arising from developments including UNGA Resolution regarding the independence of Palestine dated 12 September 2025 and subsequent follow ups this month demand regional peace to compel Israel to implement “The New York Declaration” in letter and spirit”.

Qatar enjoys Islamic world’s full support against Israel’s cowardly aggression. In this security scenario, Muslims' unity is most vital, not only during this particular incident but also in the future. Hopes are high that Tel Aviv would realize her violations of UN Charter and International Law and mend her ways to become a peace-loving and responsible addition in the region.
