The United Nations Human Rights Council will hold an urgent debate in Geneva on Tuesday on Israel's 9 September attack targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar, the Council said on Monday.
The airstrike, which Hamas says killed five of its members but not its leadership, has prompted U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states to close ranks, adding to strains in ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, which normalised relations in 2020.
The debate was requested by Pakistan on behalf of member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and by Kuwait on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The request came as leaders of Arab and Islamic states were meeting in Doha on Monday, where they were expected to warn that Israel's attack on Qatar and other "hostile acts" threaten coexistence and efforts to normalise ties in the region, according to a draft resolution of that gathering.
Tuesday's urgent debate will be the 10th of its kind to be held at the UN Human Rights Council since its creation in 2006.
