It’s interesting how the pace of exposing Qatar’s scandals has accelerated. Pandora’s Box was suddenly opened, revealing all the evils since 1996 and until today. There is “international” synergy to expose Qatar’s role in conspiring against the entire world. If I were in the shoes of Qatar’s officials though I’d be worried of my allies’ leaks more than I’d be worried of my rivals’.
Bahrain recently broadcast a phone call between former Qatari prime minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr Al Thani and Ali Salman, the chief of the dissolved Al-Wefaq Party. This revealed Qatar’s role in conspiring against Bahrain during the coup attempt led by Al-Wefaq Party against the constitution. The phone call showed how Hamad bin Jassim provided all forms of support and conveyed an American initiative to make mediation efforts in support of Al-Wefaq – this was during Obama’s presidential term. Qatar, Al-Wefaq and part of the former American administration were thus pressuring against the entrance of Peninsula Shield troops to Bahrain.
Bahrain also published other evidence that shows the financial support which Qatar provided to terrorist groups in Bahrain. Meanwhile the role of Al Jazeera television channel was exposed by the leaked conversation between Attiyah, an advisor of the former Emir of Qatar, and a member of Al-Wefaq Party. The latter provided all forms of support to terrorists so “blood is shed,” and Attiyah voiced Al Jazeera’s willingness to broadcast this!

All has become clear now in the Qatar crisis
