David Cameron today challenged the Emir of Qatar to stop the flow of cash to ISIS - following bombshell allegations in Parliament that the country is 'siphoning off' funds meant for the World Cup to fund Islamic terror.
The Prime Minister held talks with the Qatari leader Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Than amid increasing concerns over the wealthy Arab state's links to Islamic extremism and the deadly conditions migrant labourers are forced to live in.
Qatar is part of the military coalition against the militants, but elements within the wealthy state have been accused of bankrolling the militants.
During Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron was asked whether he agreed with the US assessment that Qatar was 'a permissive jurisdiction for terrorist finance'.
Mr Cameron said: 'I will be talking to the Emir very shortly, and of course we will discuss all these issues, particularly how we can work together to combat extremism.'
He added: 'It really does matter that we work with all our allies to ensure that extremist and terrorist groups do not get the support that they seem to be.
The exchange came after ministers were called on to investigate reports that British companies were being short-changed on World Cup construction contracts - with funds being siphoned off to Syria for ISIS. Hmmmm.....Yeah sure they'll 'act' by selling some more prime real estate to the Muslim Brotherhood 'Club'. Meanwhile in Egypt the hashtag: "#Qatar_supports_isis is viralling.
