Doha, Qatar – Somali Foreign Minister Abdisalam Ali participated on Sunday in a high-level ministerial meeting in Doha to lay the groundwork for the upcoming Arab-Islamic emergency summit, which will convene on Monday in response to the September 9 Israeli attack on Qatar.
The preparatory session brought together foreign ministers from across the Arab and Islamic world to finalize a coordinated response and to draft a resolution that will be presented for adoption by heads of state and government during the summit.
According to officials present, the discussions underscored the urgency of Arab and Islamic unity in the face of escalating regional tensions. The draft resolution reportedly focuses on both political and diplomatic measures aimed at condemning the attack, while also reinforcing regional security mechanisms to prevent future violations.
Ali emphasized Somalia’s solidarity with Qatar, describing the assault as a direct threat not only to one nation but to the stability of the wider Arab and Islamic region. He reiterated Somalia’s support for collective action that protects sovereignty and upholds international law.
The emergency summit, expected to draw leaders from across the Middle East and beyond, will seek to consolidate a unified stance and outline next steps for engagement with the international community. Analysts note that the outcome could prove pivotal in shaping regional security dynamics in the coming months.
