"Qatar has been playing a deadly double game with the U.S. for many years. It supports all Islamist terrorist organizations (ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Hamas, and Hezbollah)." — Yigal Carmon, president of the Middle East Media and Research Institute (MEMRI), November 6, 2023.
"Many Americans believe that they owe Qatar for its hosting of the U.S. CENTCOM base. The truth is precisely the opposite: It is Qatar that owes the U.S., for locating this base there. Without this base's presence in the country, Qatar would disappear within less than a week – its neighbors would eat it up." — Yigal Carmon, November 6, 2023.
"A single statement by a U.S. Department of Defense official, about relocating – or even considering relocating – this base from Qatar to another country that is not a state sponsor of terrorism is all it would take to get the American hostages released. Even indicating that the U.S. has other options besides Qatar would do it... Qatar is extremely and incredibly sensitive to being exposed in any way as a terror-sponsoring state." — Yigal Carmon, November 6, 2023.
"Qatar knows what it would mean for it to be defined as what it is: It means being wiped off the map. Qatar supports Hamas, but it will not commit suicide for it. Show Qatar where this support is taking it, and it will bring about the release of the hostages – because Qatar is Hamas's lifeline and Hamas will do Qatar's will." — Yigal Carmon, November 6, 2023.
"Just one demonstration in front of the Qatari Embassy, with posters stating that Qatar is a state sponsor of terrorism, will prompt Qatar to get the American hostages released." — Yigal Carmon, November 6, 2023
Instead... in January 2024, Biden "quietly" entered into an agreement with Qatar that extends the US military presence in the terror supporting Gulf state for another 10 years. This agreement needs to be immediately rescinded.
Meanwhile, Qatar has shown its true face.... At the 2024 Munich Security Conference, Qatar called for an immediate ceasefire, "without preconditions" thereby showing that the hostage negotiations that it was supposed to broker were mainly about saving its client, the terrorist group Hamas.
