'Keep your friends close, and your terrorists even closer' Qatar denies it plans to expel Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal. (Wapo).
DOHA, Qatar — Qatar’s top diplomat on Monday dismissed as “just rumors” an Israeli claim that the tiny Gulf nation agreed to expel a leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas, saying he is a “dear guest” of the energy-rich country.
Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammed al-Attiyah denied there were any such plans.
“These are just rumors that are targeted at changing Qatar’s policies toward the Palestinian people. Khaled Meshaal is a dear guest in Qatar and he is in his country,” he told reporters in response to a question during a news conference with his visiting Venezuelan counterpart, Delcy Rodriguez.
“The motivation for these rumors,” al-Attiyah added, “is to put pressure on Qatar to change its position on this issue. This is impossible because the Palestinian issue is at the heart of the principles of the country’s foreign policy.” Hmmm......So much for 'We'll renounce terrorism' The Muslim Brotherhood 'Godfather' Qaradawi continues business as usual and terror financing continues.Read the full story here.
