The US president says he was asked by Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan “to hold off on our planned Military attack” on Iran, “which was scheduled for tomorrow”.

Trump said the Gulf leaders had noted “that serious negotiations are now taking place, and that, in their opinion, as Great Leaders and Allies, a Deal will be made, which will be very acceptable to the United States of America, as well as all Countries in the Middle East, and beyond”.

“This Deal will include, importantly, NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

U.S.-Approved Arms for Libya Rebels Fell Into Jihadis’ Hands

Dec. 5, 2012

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.

No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the United States diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.

But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously been reported.

Israel Found the Hamas Money Machine Years Ago. Nobody Turned It Off.

(December 16, 2023)

Israeli leaders believed that Hamas was more interested in governing than fighting. By the time the agents discovered the ledgers in 2018, the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was encouraging the government of Qatar to deliver millions of dollars to the Gaza Strip. He gambled that the money would buy stability and peace.

Mr. Levy recalled briefing Mr. Netanyahu personally in 2015 about the Hamas portfolio.

Regierung hat Notfallplan für Ausbleiben von LNG-Lieferungen aus Katar

Die südkoreanische Regierung hat laut eigenen Angaben einen Plan für den Fall ausgearbeitet, dass die LNG-Importe aus Katar vollständig ausbleiben.

Demnach lasse sich die inländische Versorgung mit verflüssigtem Erdgas (LNG) auch in diesem Szenario stabil aufrechterhalten.

Korea, Taiwan chip sectors most exposed to helium shortage amid Middle East war: Fitch

Helium, a by-product of natural gas extraction used in semiconductor manufacturing for ultra-clean cooling, leak detection and inert shielding, faces a global squeeze, with Qatar among the world’s most important suppliers.

This comes as the US-Israeli attacks on Iran have already disrupted liquefied natural gas (LNG) production in Qatar, a leading LNG supplier, and constrained shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy chokepoint that is now paralysed.

Posten von Raketen: Katar verhaftet 313 Personen

Das Vorgehen Katars reiht sich in eine Welle ähnlicher Maßnahmen in der Golfregion ein. In Bahrain, Kuwait, den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten und Saudi-Arabien wurden ebenfalls Personen verhaftet oder gewarnt, keine Bilder von Schäden oder Angriffen zu veröffentlichen. Aus dem Iran gibt es ohnehin kaum Videos, da das Internet dort seit fast zwei Wochen weitgehend abgeschaltet ist. Auch in Israel haben die Behörden neue Zensurrichtlinien verkündet.

Es ist ein Krieg der wenigen authentischen Bilder, während KI-generierte Videos und Falschinformationen das Netz fluten.

Israel asked Qatar to increase amount of funds it gave to Hamas month before October 7

Israel asked Qatar to increase the amount of funds it gave to Hamas around a month before the October 7 attacks, Yedioth Ahronoth reported early on Friday.

Israel sought Qatar cash increase for Hamas weeks before October 7

Until now, it had been reported, including in a New York Times investigation published in December 2023, that Israel asked Doha to continue transferring funds to Hamas. It now emerges that Israel went further and actively sought to increase those transfers in response to Hamas threats of escalation in Gaza.

(…)

At this point, it is important to explain the circular arrangement. Beginning in late 2021, in an effort to prevent direct cash transfers to Hamas, Israel, Qatar and Sinwar agreed that Qatar would purchase fuel in Egypt and transfer it as a donation to Hamas authorities. Hamas then sold the fuel to gas stations in Gaza. The sums appeared modest, between $3 million and $10 million, but Hamas profited far more.

Qatar’s emir accuses Israel of genocide and violating ceasefire

“What happened in Gaza was genocide,” he said, stressing that the Gaza Strip is an inseparable part of a future united Palestinian state.

He said Israel is not only breaching the truce, but also accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank and pushing ahead with attempts to Judaise the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound – all in violation of international law.

“The international community must provide protection for the Palestinian people and ensure that perpetrators of genocide do not escape accountability,” the emir said, criticising the UN for failing to uphold international legitimacy “when it comes to the tragedy of the Palestinians”.
