The emir of Qatar is Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani
The Prime Minister is Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani
United States Government: The U.S. State Department has stated that "Hamas has received funding, weapons, and training from Iran and raises funds in Persian Gulf countries". While the U.S. has designated Qatar as a major non-NATO ally, some members of Congress have also put pressure on the Biden administration to address Qatari support for the group.
- Yossi Cohen (Former Mossad Chief): He stated after his retirement in 2021 that the Qatari money to the Gaza Strip had gotten "out of control". Cohen and Nadav Argaman said "A Shin Bet report also reportedly stated that "the influx of Qatari funds... was one of the main reasons for the strengthening of Hamas" that allowed the October 7 attack.
- Eli Cohen (Former Israeli Foreign Minister): In October 2023, Cohen explicitly stated at a high-level UN meeting, "Qatar, which finance and harbor of Hamas' leaders, could influence and enable the immediate and unconditional release of all, of all hostages held by the terrorists".
- A group, which includes five former heads of the Shin Bet, three former heads of the Mossad and three former IDF Chiefs of Staff, as well as four previous heads of military intelligence, have been described as jointly having “more than a thousand years’ experience in national security and diplomacy” on Israel’s behalf. were against the Trump Peace Plan, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and a deal to return all the hostages, with one former Mossad chief warning that the country is “on the precipice of defeat.”
- Benjamin Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister): While his government historically approved the transfer of Qatari funds to Gaza to prevent a humanitarian crisis and as a strategy to create a "divide and conquer" situation between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, Netanyahu has, since the October 7, 2023 attack, publicly accused Qatar of financing Hamas. He has justified Israeli strikes on Hamas leaders in Qatar by saying the country provides them with a "safe haven". No one wants to lose the help of the USA; being unable to do so and just depend on G-d as our ancestors did. Trump wants a lot without understanding what he is asking for; is the general consensus, I believe. Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah (right) talks with Yusuf al-Qaradawi in Riyadh on January 4, 2009.

- (In my own research I have been writing about Qatar and how they have helped Qawadari, the greet Muslim Minister broadcast all over to the Muslim countries about killing Jews, Israel, etc. "Qawadari" in Qatar refers primarily to the influential, Egyptian-born Islamic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi (or Qaradawi), a prominent, Qatar-based cleric known for his Sharia (Islamic law) interpretations, TV shows (like on Al-Jazeera), leadership in the International Union of Muslim Scholars, and association with the Muslim Brotherhood; he died in Qatar in 2022, leaving a legacy of both moderate and controversial views on Islam, politics, and social issues, and was a significant figure during the Arab Spring, per. So they have aided and abetted those against Israel's existence. Read 9/12/25 ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW Why CHINA AND QATER Voted Against Israel. )
Meanwhile, Hamas has reasserted its control over their part of Gaza, with armed terrorists patrolling the streets and arresting and executing rivals. Hamas is estimated to have 20,000 terrorist soldiers and has replaced commanders killed during the war. Around half of their tunnel network is still in tact and they still possess significant amounts of automatic rifles, RPG launchers and mortars. However, local clans and armed groups are fighting Hamas.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said on Sunday, December 7, 2025, during a tour of areas in northern Gaza, that the 'Yellow Line' that divides the Gaza Strip into territory controlled by Hamas and territory controlled by Israel "is a new border line, serving as a forward defensive line for our communities and a line of operational activity." He added, "We will not allow Hamas to reestablish itself. We are operating to thwart and remove threats in all arenas. We will not tolerate threats against our troops, and we will respond to any attempt. We have freedom of operation - both here in the Southern Command and across all arenas."
The second phase of the 20 point Trump plan calls for the disarmament of Hamas, which doesn't seem very likely, at least for now. Turkey and Qatar are reportedly working on ways to allow Hamas to maintain their influence in Gaza by allowing them to either give up their weapons to the Palestinian Authority or to store them in a secure area in Gaza. Israeli officials believe that this issue will be the main topic of discussion when Prime Minister Netanyahu meets with President Trump in Maro Lago between December 28 and January. If Trump still owns Maro Lago by then since he owes a lot of money according to certain judges in USA. What's secure about storing weapons of an enemy in Gaza? Then again, what's secure by turning over weapons to the PA? How about another country we can trust? Not Turkey. Upon thinking, maybe the best plan would be to destroy all they weapons.
