Qatar: Gaza aid spares Israel war, shows Doha does not back Hamas
2018-02-23
[Ynet] Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
i Ambassador says some $800 million in assistance to Gazoo since Protective Edge is 'keeping peace for both nations,' adding 'If we are helping Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, do you think the Israelis would allow us to go inside Gazoo and come out? It's impossible. They know we are not helping Hamas.'

Since coming under an embargo last year by its US-allied Gulf Arab neighbors, Qatar has made its aid to the Gazoo Strip‐and the coordination with Israel needed for disbursement‐a focus of its diplomatic contacts with the Trump administration.

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and commercial ties with Qatar in June for allegedly supporting terror groups such as Hamas, meddling in their internal affairs and backing regional foe Iran's agenda.

Qatar denies all the accusations, and pushed back with outreach to the United States‐including several leaders of its pro-Israel Jewish community.

Responding to Israeli and US requests, Qatar ceased hosting Saleh al-Arouri, the Hamas deputy leader, al-Emadi said. He added that "every single penny" of Qatari money given to Gazoo was monitored to ensure it is spent on humanitarian needs.

Al-Emadi said he has visited Israel 20 times since 2014. The trips were previously kept under wraps, but the envoy has been increasingly visible in recent months.
