JAKARTA - Arab League countries and Islamic Cooperation Organizations (OICs) reiterated criticism of Israel's attacks on Qatar and continued aggression at the Arab League and OKI Emergency Summit in Doha, Qatar Monday.

In a joint statement consisting of 25 points, the summit's participating countries condemned Israel's attack on Qatar on September 9 as a coward move and violated international law.

"Israel's open brutal aggression against Qatar State, and Israel's continued aggressive practices, including genocide crimes, ethnic cleansing, hunger, and sieges, as well as settlement activities and expansionist policies, undermined the prospect of peace and peaceful coexistence in the region," reads the first point of the joint statement, quoted from the OIC website, Tuesday 16 September.

The attack on Qatar was an attack on all Arab and Islamic countries, declaring it would stand with Qatar in every step taken in response, a joint statement said.

The Arab League and the OIC praised Qatar's wiseness and presence in responding to Israel's attack on Doha as a serious escalation and attacks on diplomatic efforts to restore peace.

The Arab League and the OIC reiterated the need to face Israel's plans to impose new amplification faits in the region, which pose a direct threat to regional and international stability and security, and the need to fight the plan.

The joint statement further highlighted the continued Israeli aggression in Palestine, particularly the Gaza Strip, where the genocide of Israel and hunger made the death toll continue to grow every day.

"Insisting all countries to take all legal and effective steps that make it possible to prevent Israel from continuing its actions against the Palestinian people, including by supporting efforts to end its impunity, holding Israel accountable for its offenses and crimes, imposing sanctions, suspending supplies, transfers, or transits of weapons, ammunition, and military materials including dwiguna goods reviewing diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, and starting legal proceedings against Israel," exclaimed the 15th point of the joint statement.

The Arab League and the OIC also welcome the adoption of the "New York Declaration" by the United Nations General Assembly on the implementation of two-state solutions and the establishment of an independent Palestinian State, as a concrete expression of the international will that supports the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, especially their right to establish an Independent State in accordance with the principles of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital; praising the efforts made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of France, which contributed to the adoption of this declaration.

The two organizations also welcome the holding of the Two-State Solutions Conference, chaired jointly by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of France, which will be held on September 22, 2025 in New York, and call for joint efforts by the international community to ensure broad recognition of the Independent Palestinian State with the East Al-Quds as its capital.

"A just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the Middle East will not be achieved by ignoring the Palestinian Struggle, ignoring the rights of the Palestinian people, or through violence and targeting mediators, but through compliance with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international legitimacy resolutions. In this case, we call on the international community, in particular the Security Council, to assume its legal and moral responsibility in ending Israel's occupation and set a binding schedule for that purpose," the OKI and the League Arab said in a statement with them.

Meanwhile, OKI Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha assessed that Israel's attack on the Qatari State was a continuation of the crimes of aggression, destruction, evacuation, hunger, and siege of the Palestinian people, territory, and holy places.

"This crime is a challenge that makes it difficult for us to unite our position and strengthen our solidarity in order to maintain our common goal," he tweeted on social media X OKI.

"We believe that the results of this summit can strengthen Arab-Islamic solidarity with the State of Qatar and unite our attitudes and efforts to face the challenges that exist," said the Secretary General of the OIC.
