DOHA (Reuters) -Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Monday that Israel's current actions hindered any chances of new peace treaties in the Middle East.

In remarks aimed at Israel, he told the Arab-Islamic summit in Doha: "What is happening right now hinders the future of peace, threatens your security and the security of the peoples in the region and adds obstacles to chances for any new peace agreements and even aborts existing ones."

DOHA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) -Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he didn't rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders "wherever they are" as the heads of Arab and Islamic states held a summit to show support for Qatar after Israel's attack on the Gulf state last week.

The September 9 strike targeting leaders of the Palestinian militant group in Doha marked a significant escalation of Israeli military action in a region shaken by conflict since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks that ignited the Gaza war.

VIENNA (Reuters) -Iran's uranium-enrichment programme must be "completely dismantled", U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the U.N. nuclear watchdog's annual General Conference on Monday.

The U.S. and Israel bombed Iran's uranium-enrichment plants in June, arguing Iran was getting too close to being able to produce a nuclear weapon, even though the International Atomic Energy Agency that inspects Iran's nuclear facilities said it had no credible indication of a coordinated weapons programme.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday reiterated his "deep admiration" for pro-Palestinian protesters who forced the final stage of one of the most important international cycling races to be abandoned at the weekend.

He also said Israel should be barred from international sporting competitions "as long as the barbarism continues" in Gaza, like Russian sport teams were penalised after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

LONDON (Reuters) -Britain has banned Israelis from attending a prestigious London defence studies college due to the escalation of the war in Gaza, the UK's Ministry of Defence said on Monday, prompting an angry response from Israel.

While Britain remains a close ally of Israel's, it has recently tried to pressure its government over the conflict, threatening in July to recognise a Palestinian state unless Israel takes steps to relieve suffering in the enclave.

QARDAHA/JARAMANA, Syria (Reuters) -Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa has won major diplomatic victories since seizing power nine months ago, but he risks losing the battle that matters most: to hold his deeply divided country together.

In Syria's northeast, Kurdish forces are resisting integration into the state after 14 years of civil war, and are demanding a new constitution to recognize their rights. In the southeast, members of the Druze community are openly calling for independence after violent clashes with government forces.

MADRID (Reuters) -Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday said Israel and Russia should be banned from international sports competitions until "barbaric acts" end, referring to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

Sanchez said he condemned the violent protests by pro-Palestinian on Sunday in Madrid which disrupted the La Vuelta cycling race and ultimately led to the cancellation of the final leg and the podium ceremony.

Pro-Palestinian protestors invading the Vuelta a Espana course to force the final stage of the cycling Grand Tour to be abandoned was "absolutely unacceptable", organisers said on Monday.

"What happened yesterday was absolutely unacceptable, I regret the image it gave (to the world) and it should not be repeated," said Javier Guillen, director of the race.

Around 100,000 protestors were present during the 21st and final stage of the race which was due to finish with several loops in Madrid, but was cut short around 60 kilometres before the finish in the Spanish capital.

GENEVA (Reuters) -The United Nations Human Rights Council will hold an urgent debate in Geneva on Tuesday on Israel's September 9 attack targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar, the Council said on Monday.

The September 9 airstrike, which Hamas says killed five of its members but not its leadership, has prompted U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states to close ranks, adding to strains in ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, which normalised relations in 2020.

DUBAI (Reuters) -The Abraham Accords, which normalised diplomatic relations between Israel and some Arab states, are under the spotlight after Israel attacked Hamas on September 9 with airstrikes on Qatar, outraging the U.S. ally that has hosted ceasefire talks.

Leaders of Arab and Islamic states are meeting at a summit in Qatar on Monday to show solidarity.

Here are some facts on the Abraham Accords.
