If the emergency Arab and Islamic summit in the Qatari capital, Doha, concludes the day after tomorrow, Sunday, with a closing statement that is very strong in terms of words, phrases, paragraphs, and terms of condemnation, denunciation, and denunciation, then it would be better if the Arab and Muslim leaders did not bother themselves with the trouble of moving around, traveling, or wasting their time and effort issuing a statement that can be circulated online.

The best gift Israel could receive would be for the summit to meet and limit itself to a few expressions of condemnation and denunciation.

What Arab and Muslim citizens have been waiting for from their leaders since October 7, 2023, is concrete measures that will compel the United States to pressure Israel to halt its aggression.

Frankly speaking, the failure of the summit to issue specific practical measures against Israel and its supporters is a message that Tel Aviv can repeat its aggression against any country in the region.

Last Thursday evening, we read in Haaretz that the next target may be some Hamas leaders and cadres in Türkiye.

This aggressive Israeli entity has crossed all red, blue and black lines and violated all accepted rules. It has begun to act thuggishly and boastfully, boasting that its hand is capable of reaching anywhere in this region.

Two days ago, we heard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threaten everyone, saying verbatim: Every country in the region that harbors Hamas members must expel or prosecute them, and if they don't, we will.

Netanyahu is now acting as the ruler of the region, repeating daily that he will redraw the map of the region and that he promised that there would be no Palestinian state, and he has fulfilled that promise.

He destroyed 90% of the Gaza Strip and is completing the rest these days. He is Judaizing the West Bank at an increasing pace, attacking Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen almost daily, and has attacked Iran. He reiterates every day that there will be no ceasefire anywhere. The most dangerous thing he has said is that he is committed to the dream of Greater Israel.

After all this, what are the Arab leaders waiting for to take a practical stance that will make Netanyahu and his supporters think a thousand times before continuing this bullying?!

Should we wait until all of Gaza is reduced to ruins, the West Bank is Judaized, and its formal annexation to Israel is declared? Should we wait until Netanyahu expands his aggression against Lebanon and resumes his aggression against Iran?!

Some might say: Yes, he attacks countries, but our countries are far from being threatened.

The answer is simply that no one ever imagined he would attack Iran, no one imagined he would occupy new territories in Syria and continue to occupy strategic sites in Lebanon, and most importantly, no one expected he would attack Qatar. Yet he did all of that and says he will continue on this path.

So the question again is: If Arab leaders don't act, when will they? I fear that if statements of condemnation and denunciation suffice, we shouldn't rule out the possibility that Israel will expand its sphere of aggression, reach new heights of aggression, and attack countries it would never imagine it would attack.

If every Arab country, especially the influential ones, thought calmly and carefully studied Israeli behavior over the past two years, they would arrive at a fundamental conclusion: Israel represents an existential threat to the entire region, not just to Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, or Egypt.

I hope that tomorrow's Doha summit will represent a turning point in the Arab position, which has been significantly weakened since October 7. I envision the withdrawal of ambassadors from Israel, or those remaining, the expulsion of Israeli ambassadors from Arab countries, the complete freezing of cooperation with Israel, and the notification that failure to halt the aggression within a specified period will mean the severance of all relations with it.

Every Arab country must prepare by all means to confront the American-backed Israeli treachery, and the summit must dare to clearly criticize American complicity not only in the aggression against Qatar, but in the aggression against the entire region since Israel's official establishment in the region in 1948.
