On Monday, Qatar hosted an emergency Arab-Islamic summit to address Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Doha. Qatari prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani denounced the strikes as “barbaric” and called for an end to the “double standard” applied to Israel. Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit added that “silence on a crime is a crime.”
In the United States, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders last week called for ending U.S. military aid to Israel. “Netanyahu’s extremist government is completely out of control,” he posted on X. “Not only are they starving children in Gaza, they are now breaking international law by dropping bombs on Qatar, a U.S. security partner.”
