Jafaj sources in Doha, Qatar have confirmed that Qatar’s Emir met with his most senior advisors last night, shortly after the visit of President Trump’s advisor, Jared Kushner.
The sources confirmed with Jafaj that the Emir refrained from sharing with his advisors the details of his meeting with Kushner. This, according to our sources, is very unlike the Emir’s MO. He is usually very outspoken within his inner circle. Nonetheless, the Emir told his advisors that “things have changed” and “we cannot keep doing things the old way now, we have to be prudent at least until the US presidential elections conclude”.
The Emir then issued orders to his advisors that are to be passed on to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood that controls Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran.
To Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, the Emir said he could not guarantee the flow of Qatari cash. Adding that the recent American-Israeli approval of the delivery of $30 million to Hamas was “not a policy”, but rather “a one off”.
“They will keep doing this on a one by one bases and it will all depend on Hamas’s behavior”. The Emir reportedly then warned that “The Americans and Israelis are not kidding around this time around”.
The sources reported the message was quickly delivered to Hamas last night, a senior Hamas official, who is a full time resident of Doha was summoned to the Emir’s Diwan (The Qatari Royal Court) and told of the new status quo.
Another piece of bad news was conveyed by the Emir’s advisor to the same Hamas official, that “it does not seem as if Trump is going to lose the presidential elections”.
JaFaJ has confirmed that several Democrats who are close to Qatar have been confirming to the Emir that Biden’s victory was a done deal and that all the Emir has to do is hold his ground until President Trump is out of the White House.
This morning, AlJazeera’s senior editorial team were summoned by a senior member of the Qatari royal family, and were instructed to moderate their reporting and programming in reference to Hamas, Israel and radical views.
JaFaJ has confirmed that those instructions came directly from the Emir in order to stop provoking the peace forces in the region, including the US, Israel and UAE. This does not mean Aljazeera will change at all, but would just lower the throttle a little.
As for Hezbollah and Iran, Qatar is still considering the kind of message it wants to deliver to them, because unlike Hamas, they could cause serious damage to Qatar if they want to. Additionally, over the last two decades, Qatar has strengthened its with Iran and its Lebanese offshoot, and would not want to lose those.
Speaking with an intelligence source with proximity to Qatar, JafaJ has confirmed that “Kushner could not have told the Emir anything extraordinary, or anything that Kushner or Trump would not say in public on TV”. The source added that Qatar and others are shocked by the President’s rising poll scores, and have come to realize that their dreams of Trump losing the elections are gone”.
