Muslim World Demands Sanctions, Legal Action Against Israel

Video Description

It was rare a show of solidarity. Dozens of Arab and Muslims leaders, coming together to condemn Israel for its air strikes on Doha last week. Qatar’s emir said the attacks crossed a red line and warned that Prime Minister Netanyahu was trying to make the Arab world into an Israeli sphere of influence. Türkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that Israel would pay a heavy price, vowing a mix of both diplomatic and economic retaliation. At the emergency summit in Doha, OIC and Arab League leaders issued a joint condemnation against Israel. Egypt's president had a direct warning to the people of Israel, saying the strikes on Doha was sabotaging existing peace agreements. The GCC, a collection of Gulf states, pledged to activate a joint defence mechanism in response to Israel’s attacks. But as Arab and Muslim leaders gathered in a show of unity, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, vowing Washington's continued full support. For his part, Netanyahu remained defiant, vowing to target Hamas where ever they are. On Tuesday, Israel launched its latest ground invasion of Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are on the brink of starvation.
