Palestinians: 'Revitalized' Means Unity with Hamas Terrorists
Would the Biden administration like to stop the war this week?

For [Palestinian] leaders, revamping the Palestinian Authority means forging an alliance with Hamas by inviting the terror group to be part of a new governing body that would rule the Gaza Strip in the post-war era.
From Biden's perspective, it is as though Netanyahu and the Israelis are responsible for the devastation in the Middle East since Hamas's October 7 carnage, and not Iran, and Hamas's main sponsor, Qatar, whose "protection money" evidently came "without protection." As such, it would be no surprise if the Biden administration were to welcome a "Palestinian unity" agreement between Abbas's Fatah faction and Hamas – a deal that would be no doubt presented to the world as the US-made revitalization plan; in reality, just a tee-up for the next war.
Would the Biden administration like to stop the war this week?
All the US would have to do is to inform Qatar that it was cancelling the agreement the Biden administration signed in January — in return for nothing -– to extend for another ten years America's use of Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the forward headquarters of CENTCOM, and move it to a Middle Eastern country that does not, as Qatar does, have record of supporting Islamic State (ISIS/Da'esh), Hezbollah, al Shabab, the Taliban in Afghanistan and al Qaeda as well as Hamas.
In addition, the United States could simply tell Qatar that, regrettably, the US has no choice but officially to change Qatar's designation from "major non-NATO ally," which it is not, to State Sponsor of Terrorism, which it is. The US could have the war over and all the hostages -- not just the Americans -- released in a minute.
The Biden administration -- or simply concerned citizens -- could also demonstrate with placards advertising Qatar's support for terrorism, a public relations campaign it might not relish.
By stationing its forces at Al Udeid Air Base, the US is doing Qatar a monumental favor, not the other way around. Without the US airbase, Qatar is just a rich, extremely vulnerable sandbar, as its rulers are undoubtedly aware.
