Doha: An emergency meeting in Doha saw Arab leaders come together to condemn Israel's attacks on Hamas leaders residing in Qatar. However, the gathering highlighted the challenges faced by many Arab nations in moving beyond diplomatic condemnations. Economic interests and existing agreements, such as the Abraham Accords, have created a complex geopolitical landscape that complicates the possibility of more tangible actions against Israel.

According to France24.com, while the condemnation was unanimous, the meeting underscored the limitations of the participating countries when it comes to implementing concrete measures. Many Arab nations are bound by economic ties with Israel and the United States, which influence their ability to take stronger stances. The Abraham Accords, which have normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states, further complicate collective action.

The situation is further intensified by the presence of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Jerusalem. Rubio's visit is seen as a reinforcement of the United States' strong support for Israel, regardless of its controversial actions in Gaza and ongoing plans for the West Bank. His presence serves as a reminder of the geopolitical alignments that continue to shape the region's dynamics.
