The apology comes after Israel’s September 9 strike in Doha targeted Hamas leaders, killing only lower-level officials, but sparking furious outrage across the Arab world. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari slammed the strike as “treacherous” and “reckless,” warning that violations of sovereignty will not go unpunished. He dismissed Israel’s claims that the strike was a “message,” stating it was instead an attempt to justify repeated failures. An emergency Arab-Islamic summit condemned Israel’s actions, while the Gulf Cooperation Council released an extraordinary statement outlining measures in response. Al-Ansari called the regional solidarity “an important and resonant message” internationally, with further executive steps expected in the coming days.
