What was Trump's unprecedented move regarding Qatar and Israel?
Thank you, Sheikh Mohammed, for doing this. Have you been reading the coverage on American social media of this?
Well, actually, I've been going through some of them this morning, and I saw a lot of contradicting messages.
Pretty intense, I'd say. This country is being denounced as a terror state, terror financing, very high-volume lots of attacks, including from politicians, sitting US senators, Ted Cruz, for example. And the main criticism seems to revolve around Hamas. And the idea is that your country and you specifically are supporters of Hamas, you're terror financiers. And I'd like to just get right to the truth of that. So my understanding is Hamas is here in Doha because the United States and Israel asked you to host Hamas. Is that true? And if not, what is the truth about Hamas in Doha?
Well, thank you. Thank you, Tucker. First of all, look, the starting of the relationship with Hamas and the communication was started back more than 10 years, 13 years ago at the request of the United States. Even beyond that, like it was 19 years ago when they first participated in the election and then when they moved their office back in 2012 here, it was used only for the communication and to facilitate like ceasefire, facilitating AIDS to Gaza. Unfortunately, Qatar has been attacked for having them here, but when you look at what's happening within the region, this region, when you look at its conflict, the parties of the conflict, sometimes they are state actors, sometimes they are non-state actors.
If you have no one speaking to those non-state actors, how we are going to resolve or to reach to a solution at the end of the day? And now we have seen that this communication has led to ceasefires, has led to the release of the hostages, has led to elevating the suffering of the people over there. And unfortunately, you know, there are like politicians who are trying to use this for score like short term political gains to fuel their narratives in order to like, you know, using Qatar to blame to blame another country for what's happening over there or for their own policies. All our aid and all our support and financing that went and what they claim that went to Hamas, went to Gaza, went to the people, and it was under very transparent process that United States is fully aware about.
Israel is the one facilitating, and it's not one government. It was across governments, Netanyahu, Bennett. We have dealt with all the agencies. Lapid was a prime minister at a certain point of time. Mossad, Shinbet, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the defense, all of them, they were involved in these aids and the delivery of those aids. So today, when they are claiming that this is the financing of Qatar to Hamas, it has no basis. It's just a way to spread this information about a country that doesn't do anything for them, but it's doing things that are against their policies. If you just go to Qatar records in its engagement with the United States for the last 20 years or 30 years, Qatar has never
went to United States and, you know, encouraging them to bomb this country or to support this group or to that group. We've been always in our dialogues with United States about how we de-escalate the region, how we bring peace to the region. And this peace cannot happen without an engagement with everyone in the region.
Well, I'm confused then. If you hosted Hamas here and sent money to Gaza, both of those things at the request of the U.S. government, and the Israeli government, successive Israeli governments, why did Israel bomb your country?
Well, it's, uh, I don't know if there is, I don't know if, you know, if, if any of the actions that's been like, or many of the actions that's been taken, been justified or rationalized, or even like where ethical actions, but in a principle, even You have a mediator. The concept of mediation is like a safe place for the conflicted parties to achieve a deal, to end wars and to end conflicts. And to have the mediator being bombed by one of the parties of the conflict, this has been unprecedented.
