Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani used the emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha to call for a collective security arrangement for the Arab and Islamic world.
He proposed a pact in which an attack on one state is treated as an attack on all. The goal is deterrence, faster crisis response, and a rules-based regional order.
Call for collective defense across Arab and Islamic states
Al-Sudani said the model should mirror core NATO principles while reflecting regional needs. Shared early warning, joint planning, and coordinated diplomacy would strengthen sovereignty and reduce the space for escalation.
He stressed that clear red lines help prevent miscalculation.
A unified doctrine would also guide responses in international forums and ensure consistent messaging from member states.
Condemnation of Israeli strike and solidarity with Qatar
The prime minister called the strike on Qatar a dangerous escalation that undermines regional stability and international law.
He urged capitals to adopt a unified position condemning the attack and to coordinate legal and diplomatic steps to hold Israel accountable.
Al-Sudani reaffirmed solidarity with Qatar, the Palestinian people, and other states hit by recent conflicts, including Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.
Regional partners, including Pakistan, have pressed for respect for sovereignty and a return to lawful diplomacy.
Ceasefire in Gaza and a UN-Arab reconstruction plan
Al-Sudani said a durable peace requires an internationally supervised ceasefire in Gaza, followed by a reconstruction plan managed jointly by the United Nations and Arab states.
He warned that forced displacement, destroyed infrastructure, and persistent humanitarian suffering deepen the cycle of violence and risk wider instability.
A credible reconstruction track would restore essential services, re-open economic lifelines, and support civilian protection.
