US reaches deal to extend military presence at Qatari air base — source
[IsraelTimes] The United States has reached a deal to extend its military presence at a base in 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.

for another 10 years, a source familiar with the matter tells Rooters.

The base in question is the Al Udeid Air Base, which is located in the desert southwest of Doha and hosts the largest US military facility in the Middle East, the source says, asking to not be identified.

The development was reported first by CNN

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

has regularly spoken with the emir of Qatar since October 7 on securing the release of hostages held by Hamas and on boosting aid to Gaza, where Israel’s assault since the Hamas attack has killed over 22,000 Paleostinians, according to Hamas health authorities. The figure, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants, cannot be verified independently and is also believed to include Gazooks killed by errant rockets launched by forces of Evil in the Strip.

There has also been criticism of Qatar by some in the US Congress over Hamas’s presence in the country. A bipartisan group of 113 US politicians on October 16 sent a letter to Biden asking him to put pressure on countries who support Hamas, including Qatar.
