TEHRAN, Sept 15 — Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday urged Muslim countries to cut ties with Israel ahead of an summit responding to an unprecedented Israeli strike on Hamas members in Qatar.

"It is possible that Islamic countries cut their ties with this fake regime and maintain unity and cohesion as much as possible," Pezeshkian said before departing for Doha, adding that he hoped the summit would "reach a conclusion" on measures against Israel.
