Pakistan, Qatar agree to stay in contact amid regional tensions after Israel’s attack
The two leaders also agreed to continue to remain in contact, in view of the rapidly evolving regional situation.
Following Israel’s attack in Qatar last week, Arab and Muslim leaders called for a review of ties with Israel after emergency talks in Doha on Monday.
The Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation joint session, which brought together nearly 60 countries, sought to take firm action after Israel’s attack on Qatar-hosted Hamas officials as they discussed a Gaza ceasefire proposal.
A joint statement from the summit urged “all States to take all possible legal and effective measures to prevent Israel from continuing its actions against the Palestinian people”, including “reviewing diplomatic and economic relations with it, and initiating legal proceedings against it”.
