#1 Qatar has served as a home and political nexus for the international Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimun) for more than half a century. Qatar's ruling al-Thani family are ineluctably tied to the MB. Likewise, after being expelled from Egypt the MB moved its center of operation to Turkey, and has been active there for more than twenty years. That the USA plays kissy-face with its leaders demonstrates a purposeful ignorance of those nations' objectives. Ironically, Washington also plays kissy-face with MB entities in the USA, as does Ireland, the U.K, Luxembourg and Germany.

#3 In El-Sissi's defence, he never actually expected any of this crap to work.

#5 OK, to clarify my point.
When this latest round of events kicked off, I think el-Sissi (and pretty much everyone else) that there would be another round of bloodletting, and nothing much would be solved. The Palestinians (as such) are famous for never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
But then the IDF took down the fortress of Gaza, whacked the leaders, and decided, for a change of pace, to smear Hezbollah into a greasy spot.
Iran was blocked from intervening, and then forced to sit by while all their work went up in smoke.
Then with the US election results, would you have believed the the US Pres could threaten Hamas, and actual have them start to cough up hostages?
Abdel has got to be a little bewilderd at this point.
