 "How will Qatar respond to Israeli strike? Doha hosts 2-day emergency Arab-Islamic summit to decide")
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the attacks in the Gulf country, which has been playing the role of chief mediator in the conflict, Hamas has said that the country’s attempt to assassinate its negotiating team failed
Qatar will hold an Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha soon to decide on the course of action to be taken after Israel attacked the Gulf country earlier this week, killing six people.
The announcement was made by Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani during an interview with CNN, where he said that Qatar hopes there will be a “collective regional response” to the Israeli attack on Hamas officials in Doha.
“There is a regional response. It is currently under consultation and discussion with other partners in the region,” he added.
Meanwhile, authorities in Qatar are carrying out a search operation to find two missing people and identify the human remains of those who died in an Israeli attack.
The Qatari interior ministry has said that officials have identified three out of the five Hamas members who died in the airstrikes, along with the one Qatari security officer.

‘Killed hope for hostages’
Qatar’s prime minister warned Wednesday that an unprecedented Israeli strike in Doha targeting Hamas killed hope for Gaza hostages, calling for Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu to be “brought to justice”.
“I think that what Netanyahu has done yesterday, he just killed any hope for those hostages,” Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani told CNN.
Doha is “reassessing everything” around its involvement in future ceasefire talks and discussing next steps with Washington, he added in comments cited in CNN’s live blog after an interview with the broadcaster.
Earlier Wednesday, Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed that Israel would “act against its enemies anywhere” while Netanyahu urged Qatar to expel Hamas officials or hold them to account, “because if you don’t, we will”.
