Arab and Islamic leaders convened in Qatar to formulate a unified response to Israel's attacks, including a strike on Doha. The summit aimed to address Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive and retaliatory actions across the region, which have caused widespread anger and concern over US support for Gulf states. However, achieving consensus proves challenging due to existing regional tensions and limited leverage. Qatar's emir delivered a strongly worded condemnation of Israel's actions, while Iran, despite its recent conflict with Qatar, also participated. The summit's effectiveness in influencing Israel's actions remains uncertain.
