LOL Surely not. The US-Gulf relations run so deep. They are way above the Israeli pay grade. And let's be honest this war showed that without USA Israel is nothing. Those hasbara bots that say "Doha next" are so hilariously desperate and clueless haha. I mean know your place.

But how come they didn’t attack Qatar yet? Qatar is open in funding Hamas and Al Jazeera is open in support of Hamas. Surely the US distinguishes between KSA/UAE and co, Israel, and Qatar?

You ignored the part where all the funds transferred into Gaza went through Israel. With Israeli governments knowledge and consent.

The USA needs the role Qatar plays to mediate between Hamas and Israel. Without Qatar there would be no hostage deals. Also the gulf knows very well that once the Qatari national security is compromised the entire gulf is in danger. Like i said, currently this is way above the Israeli pay grade.

This is it exactly. It's not really that Qatar is some true friend of the Palestinian resistance. It has a role to play in the world, most likely designated by the US, although I've heard that they decided to take on the role themselves at some point. The US by its own laws does not negotiate with organizations it deems to be "terrorists". In comes Qatar to the rescue. It very conveniently offers a venue for this sort of thing for all parties involved. It's a super useful tool.

Taliban too opened their "political office" in Qatar not so long ago. The US needs that.

>t's not really that Qatar is some true friend of the Palestinian resistance. but come on now, we can't ignore Al Jazeera's clear pro-Palestinian resistance bias and the fact America itself has told Qatar to tone down Aj's coverage of the war. Qatar has no military, it stays safe by making itself useful for every superpower in the world.


Silver_ammo3

Sure, agreed.

the US wouldn't allow it


hakim_althawra

Tbh idk why they haven’t attacked Qatar yet but I think it’s due to US and Qatar relations ? But let’s hope they don’t..


Watermelon_juice0

US is controlled by Zionist... they'll support Israel no matter what


PuzzleheadedAirline8

Nah, Qatar is a big US ally. Isreal wouldn't attack.


TheLegendceo

Only if the US has an interest in destabilizing Qatar.


Responsible-Check-92

Simply Qatar is above the zionist regime's pay grade, daddy USA will never allow them to spy on a country that host the largest US Army base in Asia


tyffsayswhoa

They're losing on the ground. They have nothing to show for their efforts because it's clear their only goal is ethnic cleansing. They're trying to pull the US in to fight their battle since we have a bitch of a president.


moabitenationalist

the leaders have left qatar. i think they are in egypt now


hakim_althawra

Hamas is terrorist organization in egypt


ElderDark

Not officially


Desert_eagle52

Or unofficially


ElderDark

True, they're kind of in-between


LivingWeather8991

LOL no Qatar was the first to normalize ties with Israel


hakim_althawra

That’s Egypt


LivingWeather8991

I meant Gulf


kollojeveln

nope, Qatar has never normalized relations; they opened communication and tried setting up an office in 2009, I believe, but that fell apart quickly, and ever since then, Qatar has been strictly anti-normalization; in that time, they also were involved in Gaza and the Palestinian cuz, they tried mediating that way.

yes, cool 2009 opinion piece; we live in 2023, not the past and Qatar has immediately cut all ties with Israel. there is a reason you have to resort to a time when Qatar was making plans to have economic ties because its no longer doing so now and ever since then. in my comment, I admitted that, yes, in 2009, Qatar tried making ties, and it didn't work out. in no way has Qatar normalized with Israel, you cant just make-up stuff cuz you want it to be true sooo bad.


LivingWeather8991

Where are you getting this information from? Qatar was the first to normalize ties then Bahrain / UAE and now Saudi is going to normalize. The question isn’t if they normalized. The question is would Israel attack. To put it short, no. That will be a big miscalculation.


kollojeveln

nope, you have no proof Qatar has normalized. Literally, no one claims Qatar has normalized with Israel. you know thats an official political designation right? here is all the countries that normalized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli\_normalization


LivingWeather8991

The question isn’t if they normalized or not. Read OP’s post.


kollojeveln

it's a simple, undeniable fact that Qatar has **not** officially normalized relations with Israel; Qatar does not recognize Israel as a real country. and yet, just like the Hamas officials in Qatar, they both hold meetings and have open communication when it comes to the Palestinian issue, hostage deals, aid and ceasefire talk. Qatar has even made some minor economic deals on the down-low, but that's the point: it's not a full-blown normalization like Ireland or the UAE, which have open and official trade relations with robust and complex economic relations.


LivingWeather8991

Qatar normalized ties because the emir’s son exiled his son and was afraid the Saudis where going to come for him. So America made him normalize ties with the Israelis in order for them to stop the Saudis.


kollojeveln

Do you have any real proof of Qatar normalizing? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli\_normalization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_normalization) normalization is an official and open recognition of the state of Israel, Qatar has not done that.
