The council said on Monday the debate would be convened after it received two official requests, one from Pakistan on behalf of member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the other from Kuwait on behalf of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf.
The UN council said its 10th urgent debate since its creation in 2006 would "discuss the recent military aggression carried out by the State of Israel against the State of Qatar on 9 September 2025'".
Israel targeted Hamas leaders last week in strikes on the Qatari capital, killing five lower-level Hamas members and a Qatari security officer.
The attack drew widespread international condemnation, including from Gulf monarchies allied with the United States, Israel's main backer.
On Thursday, the UN Security Council condemned strikes on Qatar and called for de-escalation, without naming the culprit, Israel, which carried out the attack.
The Security Council "underscored the importance of de-escalation and expressed their solidarity with Qatar.
They underlined their support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Qatar, in line with the principles of the UN Charter" said the statement, which required the agreement of all 15 council members, including Israel's ally the United States.
The Council members also recalled their support for the vital role that Qatar continues to play in mediation efforts in the region, and alongside Egypt and the United States.
