At Doha summit, Arab and Muslim leaders talk tough but take no concrete steps against Israeli aggression

An emergency Arab-Islamic summit was convened in Doha following an Israeli attack on Qatar, aiming to demonstrate a unified position and explore a collective response to Israeli aggression and the conflict in Gaza. Leaders from the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation delivered speeches with an unusually defiant and angry tone. Despite the sharp rhetoric, deep political divisions and state-level self-interest among the member nations prevented any concrete, unified actions from being taken. The summit ultimately highlighted the gap between strong denunciations and the inability to agree on a tangible path forward.
