Qatar on Wednesday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly called Qatar “problematic” for hosting billionaire Hamas terrorists and acting as an intermediary between Hamas and Israel. , criticized the prime minister.
Meanwhile, Qatar is acting as a mediator in negotiations between Hamas and Israel over the possible release of Israeli hostages still held in the hands of terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Qatar controls Al Jazeera, a media network that supports Hamas and broadcasts anti-Israel and anti-Western propaganda to audiences in the Middle East and around the world. Qatar was once a major financier not only of Hamas but also of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose leaders live in exile in the capital Doha.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's remarks came after he met with the families of Israeli hostages on Wednesday and commented that the United States was wasting an opportunity to exert influence by renewing a 10-year contract with Qatar to set up American military bases. It was reported.
he reportedly Said:
I think we need to appeal to the hearts of the international community in order to put pressure on those who can be put under pressure. [Hamas]. First up is Qatar. Now, when I talk about Qatar, people don't hear me thank Qatar…why? Because, as far as I know, Qatar is not very different from the United Nations, not much different from the Red Cross, and in some ways even more problematic. But for now, whatever factors are available to help bring them home. I have no illusions about them. I was very angry recently and did not hide that the Americans renewed the contract for a military base in Qatar. Why didn't they say, “Please bring back the hostages?” It's pressure!…Qatar has influence over Hamas. First, put pressure on Qatar.
In contrast, Qatar blown up Prime Minister Netanyahu said this on social media.
We are appalled by the statements attributed to the Israeli Prime Minister in various media reports regarding Qatar's mediation role. If these statements are valid, they are irresponsible and destructive to efforts to save innocent lives, but they are not surprising.
Following the success of mediation that led to the release of more than 100 hostages last year, Qatar has been in regular dialogue with negotiating parties, including Israeli institutions, for months, and has been in constant dialogue with negotiating parties, including Israeli institutions, to develop a new hostage agreement and an agreement for the foreseeable future. We have tried to establish a framework. Entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
If the reported statements turn out to be true, the Israeli prime minister will seek to end the mediation process for reasons he believes will benefit his political career, rather than prioritizing saving innocent lives, including those of Israeli hostages. It will only hinder and weaken them.
We hope that Prime Minister Netanyahu decides to act in good faith and focus on the release of the hostages, rather than worrying about Qatar's strategic relationship with the United States.
A growing number of U.S. leaders are calling for a tougher stance on Qatar. As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Qatar's ambassador to the United States, Meshal bin Hamad al-Thani, announced that ) is said to have been involved in a spy plan. and bribed French parliamentarians.
