Arab and Islamic leaders are gathering in Doha for an emergency summit to show support for Qatar after an Israeli airstrike last week targeted Hamas officials on its soil, killing five members of the group and a Qatari security officer.
An Arab-Islamic leaders’ summit is expected to open Monday in Qatar, aiming to rally solidarity after Israel’s strike on Hamas inside the Gulf state heightened regional tensions.

The UAE, which normalized relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords, summoned the Israeli envoy in protest, stressing that Qatar’s stability is vital to the Gulf’s security.
