Ministers meet in Doha ahead of emergency Arab-Islamic summit

Arab foreign ministers have met in Doha to discuss a draft resolution ahead of Monday's emergency Arab-Islamic summit to discuss the recent Israeli attack on Doha that targeted Hamas leaders.

The summit brings together members of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

The gathering is a message that "Qatar is not alone ... and that Arab and Islamic states stand by it," Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.

The attack in Doha killed five Hamas members but not its leadership, the group reported. It also left a member of Qatar's internal security forces dead.

US President Donald Trump had signalled unhappiness over the Israeli attack, saying it did not advance Israeli or US goals, calling Qatar a close ally working hard to broker peace.
