QATAR'S CONTROVERSIAL INTERMEDIARY ROLE IN GAZA WAR SPARKS GLOBAL
CONCERNS

Qatar's recent emergence as a key intermediary in the Gaza conflict,
particularly in the hostage negotiations following Hamas's October 7
attack on Israel, has raised critical questions about the nation's
geopolitical allegiances and the ethical implications of its
involvement.

The Biden administration granted Qatar major non-NATO ally status in
2022. However, concerns persist regarding Qatar's support for Hamas, a
designated terrorist organization, and its hosting of Hamas. The Biden
administration's praise for Qatar's efforts is seen by skeptics as a
potential endorsement of the nation's questionable alliances, raising
concerns about the clarity and consistency of U.S. counterterrorism
policies.

STOP QATAR’S BANKROLLING AND HOSTING OF TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS!

The recent hostage negotiations have put Qatar in a precarious
position, attempting to mediate while avoiding condemnation for its
association with Hamas. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Qatar's
ruling emir, has not shied away from making provocative statements
against Israel's backers, accusing them of providing a "free license
to kill." Such rhetoric, while resonating with anti-Israel sentiments
in the Arab world, raises questions about Qatar's commitment to
impartial mediation and its potential role in escalating tensions in
the already volatile region.

At the forefront of these concerns is Qatar's historical support for
groups designated as terrorists by the West. The gas-rich emirate has
long-standing ties with Hamas, hosting its political office in Doha
for over a decade. Prominent Hamas figures like Khaled Mashaal and
Ismail Haniyeh, both sanctioned by the U.S., find refuge in Qatar,
casting a shadow over the nation's commitment to global
counterterrorism efforts.

Qatar is reported to be the main funder of major Islamic terrorist
organizations including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, al-Qaeda,
and the Al-Nusra front facilitating an annual turnover of $1 billion,
while also providing billions of dollars to American universities and
think tanks.  

Qatar's significant financial support for Hamas, estimated at
approximately $360 million annually since 2021, surpasses Iran's
contributions. This funding, coupled with a safe haven in Qatar,
comparable to Turkey, for Hamas operation leaders where they have even
coordinated and planned attacks in previous years, underscores this
duplicitous relationship.

Despite being a major non-NATO ally of the United States, Qatar's
support for Hamas extends beyond financing to include state-sponsored
media, notably through Al Jazeera, furthering Hamas's cause, and
global support. Qatar-funded Al Jazeera's dissemination of anti-Israel
rhetoric raises questions about its commitment to the alliance.

In addition to Qatar's relationship with Hamas, its broader pattern of
supporting destabilizing movements, exemplified by its historical ties
and domiciling of a figure like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect
of 9/11, and the Afghan Taliban during the insurgency, underscores a
strategic concern for the United States.

Qatar's strategic importance to the United States, highlighted by the
Al-Udeid Air Base hosting the forward headquarters of the U.S.
military's Central Command, introduces an additional layer of
complexity. It facilitated the US-Taliban talks that led to the 2020
Doha Agreement and was critical in evacuation operations, airlifting
thousands of foreign troops and civilians out of Afghanistan in
mid-2021. While Qatar's role in facilitating the U.S. withdrawal from
Afghanistan was pivotal (evacuating nearly 40% of all evacuees),
questions arise about the extent to which the U.S. is willing to
overlook Qatar's controversial associations in pursuit of its
strategic interests. 

As a non-NATO ally hosting the largest US air base in the region, Al
Udeid, the US holds significant leverage to challenge Qatar's support
for terrorism and destabilization, emphasizing the need for a
reassessment of this behavior given Qatar's reliance on the American
relationship for protection and strategic interests.

Suspend Qatar’s status as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) until the
President certifies that it no longer directly supports terrorists,
including Hamas. Support HR 6431, the ‘Trust But Verify Act’.
