Doha Deluxe | Israel today

The news that US President Joe Biden had decided to keep the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the State Department's list of terrorist organizations should come as no surprise. The Revolutionary Guards.

What Iran will receive as compensation - it is not clear.

But two things are very clear.

The administration is fully committed to the 2015 nuclear deal, even though it is no longer relevant.

According to Defense Minister Bnei Gantz, the Iranians have already enriched enough uranium to produce a nuclear bomb.

In addition, thanks to China, oil and gas exports from Iran have returned to the level they were before the Trump administration renewed sanctions.

Thanks to sanctions on Russian energy products, Iran's profits from its exports are skyrocketing.

So it is unclear whether Iran is at all interested in returning to the agreement.

Who will rake in the credit, if and when the Iranians return to the agreement, are the Qataris.

In recent weeks, the spotlight on the nuclear deal has been directed at Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hemed al-Thani, who has returned from a visit to Tehran and said that thanks to his mediation, the agreement is on track.

Following his visit to the White House last March, the Americans declared Qatar a Major Non NATO ally, (an important non-NATO ally), a significant status that Israel also enjoys. The strange thing about Qatar is that unlike Israel, Qatar does not have Official United States Alliance.

It is an ally of Iran - and the world headquarters and the beating heart of the Muslim Brotherhood - but on the other hand, it is very friendly to America.

Al-Jazeera terrorist network

There is a lot of confusion about Qatar and where it stands in front of jihadists.

To understand the situation, it is worthwhile to go back in time to 1996. In that year, the Qataris did two things: they set up the Al-Jazeera satellite television network, and opened the Al-Odeid air base, which they gave to the United States.

Since its inception, al-Jazeera has served as the most powerful mouthpiece the Muslim Brotherhood has ever had and their jihad gospel.

The network serves as the home base of al-Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas, and also promotes sales for the Iranian ayatollahs' regime.

Without al-Jazeera, jihadist forces would not have risen and flourished as they have in the last 25 years.

It was al-Jazeera that made the spiritual leader of the brothers, Sheikh Yussef al-Qardawi, a superstar throughout the Arab world.

For decades, Sheikh al-Qardawi has hosted the most popular and watched program on the network in which he spread the message of jihad, including antisemitic messages accompanied by a call to destroy Israel.

Al-Jazeera was the home base of al-Qaeda before and after the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. It is the home station of Hamas and the Taliban, and is not an independent network but an arm of government in Doha. Hamas headquarters and its main funder, it served as the Taliban's base until the overthrow of the elected Afghan government and the return of the Taliban to power.

The establishment of al-Jazeera by the Qataris was a natural move for the emirates.

As researcher David Riboi, an American political war expert and author of The Shadow War of Qatar: The Islamist Emirate and Its Information Campaigns in the United States, explains: After his expulsion from Egypt and imposed on him to establish an extensive program of Islamic education.

"Over the years, al-Qaradawi's program has become the country's DNA. In view of the intimate relationship and the absolute ideological connection with the Muslim Brotherhood, it is very difficult to see where the first begins and the second ends."

Israel must not be confused

In other words - in essence, and from its inception, Qatar is a jihadist country.

And that brings us to the establishment of an al-Obeid base.

At the same time as spreading the message of global jihad and supporting Islamic terrorist organizations, the Qataris have become themselves irreplaceable partners of the Americans.

They built for free no money a spacious, comfortable and sophisticated base, while tensions between the Americans and the Saudis reached a peak.

The United States was happy to receive the gift. Many more gifts awaited the military, the private sector and the American elites down the road. Thus began Qatar's double game.

On the one hand, it is waging a jihad war against the United States and the free world. On the other hand, it is distributing "gifts."

Qatar has invited key people for deluxe visits to Doha, all inclusive, all free.

And more.

And more.

During the Bush administration, American dependence on the al-'UDAid base spared the regime criticism and sanctions after 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

During the Obama era, relations with Qatar broke every ceiling because the US administration sought to get closer to Iran and strengthen the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Trump administration had a golden opportunity to break away from Qatar in 2017 when Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates severed ties with it due to its support for Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood.

But the administration preferred to sit on the fence and eventually make "peace" between the parties.

The Biden administration, which continues the policy of the Obama administration, is returning to a policy of closeness and empowerment of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So where is Israel in this infamous Qatari Islamist entanglement?

The anti-Semitic propaganda attack in al-Jazeera following the death of al-Jazeera reporter Sheerin Abu Akla must remind us how hostile and dangerous the role of Qatar in the war against Israel is.

But instead of launching a frontal attack against Qatar, the Israeli government is following in the footsteps of the Americans and regards Qatar as a "moderating factor" against Hamas and in general.

In the run-up to the World Cup, instead of making it clear to the country's citizens that Qatar serves as a warm home for Hamas terrorists, Israel is promoting an initiative of direct flights there.

The government is repeatedly talking enthusiastically about the possibility of Qatar joining the Abrahamic Accords even though it is doing everything in its power to harm them.

"Without the patronage of Qatar," explains Multi, "the Muslim Brotherhood would have become extinct in today's Islamic world."

And maybe not.

But Qatar is a bitter and dangerous enemy of Israel.

One needs to keep an eye out to see if the leaders of the top security forces are keeping an eye out.

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
