Qater surrendered much of its sovereignty to form a confederation with Hamas. If one is willing to recognize the character of the terrorist organization, then its powerful influence becomes obvious. The country has now become as much an abetting resource as Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria.

The country also houses the Al Udeid Air Base used by their country, USA, and RAF. Obviously, the US and Great Britain knew Qatar was being approached as a sanctuary for Hamas and should have stopped it. Action by Israel should not have been required to restore proper balance to the country’s foreign policy.
