Allowing Qatar to be part of an Arab consortium that would replace Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip is essentially placing the alpha-fox in charge of the henhouse.
Al-Jazeera, Qatar's flagship media network, operates around the clock as a propaganda outlet in the service of Hamas.
After America's attack on Iran's nuclear sites on June 22, journalists and those who shape public opinion in Qatar condemned the US and President Donald J. Trump. Al-Jazeera presenters and columnists for Qatar's government newspapers took to social media to slam the US and Trump, calling him a "brazen liar", "the leader of a modern crusade", and a "war criminal"...
"... Israel must be destroyed and eliminated and must disappear. This should be a strategic Arab doctrine. [Operation] Al-Aqsa Flood showed us that the Israelis have no connection to the land...." — Qatari General (ret.) Mubarak Al-Khayreen, X.com, June 22, 2025.
In 2017, [Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates] severed ties with Qatar and imposed a sea, land and air blockade on it. They accused Qatar of supporting various terrorist groups and extremist movements, including the Muslim Brotherhood, and demanded the closure of Al-Jazeera.
Qatar has never abandoned its goal of promoting the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates, including Hamas. Anyone who watches Al-Jazeera (in Arabic) can see that the Gulf state and its media outlets are fully mobilized in favor of Islamist Jihadis engaged in terrorism against Israel and the West.
Qatar cannot be allowed to play any role in the administration of the Gaza Strip.
