Shafaqna English- The emergency Doha summit of Arab and Muslim leaders has issued its final declaration, stating that it will support Qatar in its response to Israel’s “cowardly” attack on the nation last week.
Majed Mohammed Al-Ansari Foreign Ministry’s Spokesperson told reporters that today’s summit represents the unity of the Arab-Islamic ranks.
“Arab and Muslim leaders have come together to express their unified stance against the Israeli attack on Qatar. They asserted that the attack on an Islamic and Arab country and member of the UN is an unprecedented escalation and a threat to international peace and security,” Ansari said.
“This emergency summit in Doha is not a dependency summit, but a message to the entire world that as Arab-Islamic countries we reject any aggression, and we assert that the Palestinian cause would remain central until the Palestinian people regain their full rights.”
According to the document, the Council of the League of Arab States adopted the resolution: “Shared Vision for Security and Cooperation in the Region”, doing so “to reaffirm the concept of collective security and shared destiny of Arab-Islamic States, the necessity of unity in facing common challenges and threats, and the importance of beginning to put in place the required implementation mechanisms”.
The signatories said that “any future regional arrangements must enshrine the principles of international law and the UN Charter, good-neighborly relations, respect for sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of States, equality of rights and duties without preference of one State over another, [and] settlement of disputes by peaceful means”.
The signatories also underscored the need to end Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land along the 1967 lines and to rid the region of nuclear weapons.
