In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Your Highness Brother Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani,
Amir of the sisterly State of Qatar,
President of the Extraordinary Session of the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit,

My Brothers, Their Majesties, Excellencies, and Highnesses, Leaders of the Arab and Islamic Nations,
His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League,
His Excellency Mr. Hussein Ibrahim Taha, Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,
Distinguished Attendees,

Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you,,,

I begin by conveying to you all the greetings of His Highness the Amir of the State of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah – may God protect and preserve him – along with his well-wishes for the success of this extraordinary session of the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit.

We also extend our profound gratitude and appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the sisterly State of Qatar, for the warm welcome and generous hospitality, and for the gracious invitation to convene this summit in the Qatari capital, Doha, amidst the exceptional circumstances our region is undergoing.

We further extend our thanks to Their Majesties, Excellencies, and Highnesses for their swift response, and to His Excellency Mr. Ahmed Aboul Gheit and His Excellency Mr. Hussein Ibrahim Taha for their excellent preparation and organization of this summit.

Your Majesties, Excellencies, and Highnesses,

Our summit today convenes to reiterate our complete condemnation of the brutal aggression perpetrated by the Israeli occupation forces on the ninth of this September against the sisterly State of Qatar and its sovereignty.

We affirm that the security of the sisterly State of Qatar is a fundamental pillar of the security of our Arab and Islamic nations, and is an inseparable part of our collective security system.

In this context, we extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to the sisterly State of Qatar—its leadership, government, and people—for the martyrdom of the victims of this treacherous Israeli aggression, among them the Duty Martyr Bader Saad Al-Dosari – may God rest his soul.

Your Majesties, Excellencies, and Highnesses,

The continued violation of the sovereignty of Arab and Islamic states by the Israeli occupation forces is a continuation of a dangerous escalatory approach, the consequences of which we have long warned against. It constitutes a direct threat to regional and international security and a clear undermining of international efforts aimed at establishing peace in the region.

This aggression also represents a blatant disregard for the international order, and for the rules and principles of international law and relevant charters, pushing the region into a state of chaos and explosion.

As we condemn in the strongest terms this brutal aggression, we renew our call to the international community, and specifically to the United Nations Security Council, to shoulder its responsibilities, to not remain silent or overlook this brazen assault, and to take serious and effective measures to stop the systematic aggression against the countries of the region and to hold its perpetrators accountable.

Your Majesties, Excellencies, and Highnesses,

Since the beginning of the recent Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip nearly a year ago, we have followed the diligent and sincere efforts exerted by the sisterly State of Qatar to stop the bleeding of the Palestinian people, alleviate the suffering of our brotherly Palestinian people, and reach a permanent ceasefire agreement among all parties.

The brazen Israeli aggression against Doha is but clear evidence of the occupation's intentions to undermine all endeavors aimed at de-escalation and to obstruct any opportunity for achieving sustainable peace in the region.

We also take this opportunity to commend the noble efforts undertaken by the sisterly State of Qatar in supporting legitimate Palestinian rights, based on the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, leading to the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, which would achieve security and stability in the region.

In conclusion,,,

We reaffirm our full support for the measures taken by the sisterly State of Qatar to preserve its security, stability, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory.

We also stress the necessity of combining regional and international efforts to stop the escalating tensions in the region and to reject all practices that would ignite tendencies of extremism and hatred and destabilize the security and stability of our region.

Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
