That's why Qatar is the number one donor to American universities and they have Al Jazeera and all that they do.

Everyone in the Middle East knows this.

The Saudis and Emiratis want no part of the reconstruction of Gaza or the International Stabilization Force if the Turks and the Qataris are involved.

They almost went to war with Saudi Arabia in 2017.

I'm sorry, they almost went to war with Qatar in 2017 over Qatar's support of terrorist organizations.

So the Trump administration behaving as though the Qataris and the Turks are part of the peaceful, moderate, pro-Western Arab states, like those other states, is a major miss and it dooms to failure all of these efforts.

It's a really big problem.

Well, I disagree with you on that, Steve.

Israel doesn't want to work with proxies of the Turks.

You know, Erdogan has basically cut off diplomatic relations with Israel, doesn't allow Israeli ships into his ports.

He speaks openly about his support for Hamas and his desire to destroy the state of Israel.

Ahmed Ashara is a Turkish proxy.

Let's remember, his HTS terrorist organization, which toppled Assad, was funded and armed by the Turks.

The Turks are currently trying to rebuild the Syrian military.

He is a Turkish proxy.

Let's just be very clear.

And that is why Erdogan also is trying to take control of the international stabilization force.

And Gaza and Netanyahu correctly is refusing that.

That's the source of the tension right now because the Turks are not the Saudis.

They're not the Emirates.
