JaFaJ intelligence sources in Qatar have confirmed that Qatar’s Amir and his father (Hamad) approved a reconciliation deal with Saudi Arabia and the UAE before the November 3rd, US President Elections.
The comprehensive deal included the requirement that Qatar immediately begin peace talks with Israel, and was scheduled to take place the instant they reopened their Commercial Office in Tel Aviv. [COMMENT: Qatar was the first Arab Gulf state to have public ties to Israel. In the 1990s, Qatar opened a “commercial office” in Tel Aviv. They shut down the office in 2001 and withdrew their diplomatic staff by 2004. END COMMENT].
Additionally, the source has reported that Qatar’s move was anticipated to take place by the end of November, but was halted by the outcome of the 2020 US Presidential Elections. Currently, the Qataris are waiting for Congressional action that finalizes the election before determining their next move.
The Qataris and Biden, who served as President Obama’s Vice President, are friendly. This is no surprise as Biden is tolerant of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical terrorist group, which Qatar supports and harbors on its soil.
A source close to Qatar’s Royal Court (Al-Diwan Al-Amiri) reported that “The Amir was never willing to make peace with either the Saudis or Emaraties, much less the Israelis”.
The source added that “He only got involved after a lot of convincing and assurances from the United States, particularly [State Secretary] Mike Pompeo”. The source added that “both men have been pushing Qatar, warning them that Iran was actively seeking confrontations in the Gulf and that Qatar’s friendly ties with Iran only put off the inevitable: The Iranians will not spare Qatar in the long run as they gobble up her neighbors.”
Obviously, the Qataris sobered up to reality as Iran has been creating tension in the Persian Gulf for most of 2020 following the US targeted killing of its top military commander, Qassem Sulimani. They have accepted the US brokered reconciliation deal, all knowing Iran will eventually eat them up if given the chance. Nonetheless, sources in Qatar have confirmed that “If Biden becomes president, the Amir will side with Iran and trash the deal reached with the Trump administration”.
When asked why, the source responded: “the Al Thani ruling family has a sincere hatred of the Saudis that overshadows any logic. They are more concerned with outdoing Saudis than saving their own kingdom from Iran.” The source added that “Qatar is being asked to give up the Muslim Brotherhood after it has invested billions supporting it for almost three decades, and if given the chance, the Amir would side with Iran any day over Saudi Arabia or UAE and keep the Muslim Brotherhood propped up”.
JaFaJ intelliegnce sources have been able to verify the details of the reconciliation deal between Qatar and other Arab Gulf states. The deals details include the following:
1-Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain will lift their embargo against Qatar, reopen their embassies and resume political full diplomatic and economic ties;
2-Simultaneously, Qatar will follow their lead and do the same;
3-All sides will implement policies to cooperate equally on security and intelligence sharing about Iranian hostilities. This includes reporting on Iran’s intelligence, military, economic and media moves;
4-All parties will put an end to the ‘media wars’ they are waging against each other, including stopping social media activists from defaming their neighbors or inciting rebellion against their respective governments and leaders;
5-Qatar was to expel the Muslim Brotherhood’s top leaders and send them to Turkey;
6-The remaining mid-to-low level Muslim Brotherhood members living or working in Qatar were to be banned from all political activities, especially incitement against other Gulf states, the US, Israel and all signatories of the Arab peace deals with Israel. [COMMENT: Qatar currently hosts 100,000 Muslim Brotherhood members from a variety of Arab countries including those wanted by their home countries on terrorist charges. Both Qatar and Jordan have been the top Arab countries to host Muslim Brotherhood members because they are “safe havens”, where Muslim Brotherhood members can either find employment or live safely”. END COMMENT];
7- The Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Al Jazeera will immediately cease and desist their defamation and incitement campaign against all Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia and UAE;
8-Al Jazeera will also replace senior administration officials with non-bias managers [COMMENT: Aljazeera serves as the Muslim Brotherhood’s mouthpiece and its top management position is strictly filled by Muslim Brotherhood members. END COMMENT].
9-Qatar will stop supporting, financing, communicating with and/or promoting Islamist radical opposition against the Saudi Government. This includes stopping Qatar’s “friendly ties” to people like Ghanem Al Dosari, a Saudi oppositionist YouTuber who is living in the UK, and his fellow Saudi compatriot, Saad Al-Faqeh. The Saudis presented evidence that both men have been “somewhat in touch” with Qatar’s government;
10-Details of the reconciliation deal were to remain TOP SECRET, and that all sides would work together to promote positive change in the region;
11-A reconciliation summit meeting had been slated in Bahrain in January, but it is unknown if it will take place after the US elections’ outcome, [if Biden wins]. If held, the meeting will be attended by Qatar’s Amir, and is designed to help all sides re-establish brotherly ties without shaming any party or putting the blame on one side and not the other.
Comment: The intelligence community recognizes that Qatar understands that Iran is a larger threat to their economic and political sovereignty than any of its Arab neighbours. Nonetheless, ego, hatred and grudges held by Qatar against UAE and Saudi Arabia have hindered reconciliation. Qatar will only comply with the deal if they have to. Additionally, the Amir and his father appear to be strictly listening to their advisor Azmi Bashara, who is an Israeli-Arab-Palestinian. Bashara is a well-spoken advisor, but does not understand Washington’s nuances nor does he necessarily see Iran as Qatar’s largest threat. Because of the delay in Trump’s re-election and the wait for Congressional confirmation, Qatar has been lucky because the reconciliation deal is now on hold. On one hand, if the pro-Iranian and anti-Saudi Biden receives Congressional confirmation, there is no need for Qatar to reconcile. On the other hand, if Trump receives Congressional confirmation, Qatar will recognize and adhere to the pre-approved reconciliation deal. That means that until January 20th when one of the two men will be sworn in, Qatar will remain a rouge player in the region.
