US tells Qatar to kick Hamas out of the country after terror group rejects hostage deal
New York Post ^ | November 8, 2024 | Victor Nava

The US demanded Qatar shutter Hamas’ political office in Doha after the terror group’s latest rejection of a deal that would have freed the Israeli hostages, and the Gulf state has agreed, an official said Friday.

“After rejecting repeated proposals to release hostages, its leaders should no longer be welcome in the capitals of any American partner,” a senior Harris-Biden administration official said, according to Reuters.

“We made that clear to Qatar following Hamas’s rejection weeks ago of another hostage release proposal,” the official added.

The oil-rich Gulf state has been hosting the Palestinian terror group’s political leaders since 2012 — and broke the news to them about 10 days ago that they are no longer welcome in Doha, the US official said.

There are no hostages left alive. They would only be releasing bodies.

Why didn’t Blinken do this a year ago?

Immediately after Trump is elected.

It should have been done before

Qatar did nothing.

Biden admin (fake) did this - said to evict Hamas from Qatar - because of Trump’s victory.

Yes, we do.

The kicker is they don’t. They’ve rationalized their incompetence and fecklessness so much at this point they couldn’t unravel it to find their own real motivations if their lives depended on it.

Biden’s admin is potato soup.

PRESIDENT DJT will put the screws on those pukes.
Hopefully also help the Mossad and IDF to track and annihilate those monsters.

If Biden were serious he’d threaten to revoke every Qatari visa on Monday morning if the leaders of Hamas weren’t handed over in chains.

I think we should kick ourselves out of Qatar and move everthing we have there (largest U.S. military presence in the Middle East) to Iraqi Kurdistan, whether Baghdad or the Mullahs in Tehran like it or not,

I’m pretty sure we have some forces there, to support action in Syria and Iraq and project power. But it’s landlocked so it’s not ideal for major bases. Qatar has proximity and Persian gulf access. Most likely we are there to protect the Saudis, across the bay from Iran.
