Doha, MINA – Qatar’s prime minister said Wednesday that a collective regional response is being prepared to counter Israel’s strike on Doha, confirming that consultations are ongoing with Arab and Islamic partners.
“There is a response that will happen from the region. This response is currently under consultation and discussion with other partners in the region,” Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told CNN.
He confirmed that Doha will host an Arab-Islamic summit in the coming days to decide on measures against the Israeli assault.
Expressing outrage, Al Thani condemned the attack as an act of “state terror.”
“I have no words to express how enraged we are at such an act. We are betrayed,” he said.

The Qatari leader also accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging efforts to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza and undermining cease-fire negotiations.
“Netanyahu just killed any hope for those hostages … He needs to be brought to justice. He’s breaking every law. He broke every international law,” Al Thani said.
He further noted that Qatar is reassessing its role in any future Gaza ceasefire talks following the Israeli strike on its capital. []
