Qatar’s embassy in Washington on Tuesday criticised comments made by U.S. Democratic congressman Steny Hoyer, in which he called on the U.S. to “reevaluate” its relationship with Qatar.
Hoyer said on Monday that Qatar must threaten Hamas with “repercussions” if the militant Palestinian group “continues to block progress towards releasing the hostages and establishing a temporary ceasefire”.
Some other U.S. lawmakers have suggested in recent months that Qatar supports Hamas, an accusation rejected by the Gulf state, which hosts some 10,000 U.S. troops, the largest U.S. military presence in the Middle East.
Sheikh Mohammed underscored on Wednesday that the role of mediator has limits: “(Mediators) cannot provide things that the parties themselves refrain from (offering).”
It is clear to everyone outside the US/Nato propaganda bubble that the US not only supports Israel but is desperately trying to bait Iran into the conflict. Something that Israel and the neocons in the CIA have been gagging for for years.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, there’s a 2009 Bookings Institute policy paper that outlines exactly how US imperials plan to use Israel to wrangle Iran into a direct conflict. It even goes into details about how the US will stand on the sidelines feigning concern all while its rabid attack dog baits Iran.
More details here for anyone that wants to know more.
