LOSING
THE CROWN JEWEL?
Via StratRisk
The collapse of the Muslim Brotherhood’s rule did not just
impact its supporters in EGYPT. In QATAR, it caused a tremor inside the whole
ruling establishment; destroying the political bridges it had built to exert
influence in the country.
QATAR WAS THE MOTHER WHOSE MILK FED THE ISLAMIST GROUPS.
It
spent billions to install them in power – observers estimate that QATAR paid
more than $17 billion to Arab Spring countries – especially the deposed
president Mohamed Mursi. This could be the beginning of the decline of the role
of QATAR under the new Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
It
seems clear that SAUDI ARABIA trumped QATAR in EGYPT. At least this is how its
leaders felt. This could bring the conflict between the two countries to square
one, but in favor of SAUDI, as is apparent from the official QATARI silence
concerning EGYPT. QATAR’S press is also confused about EGYPT as it can’t stop
wailing about the overthrow of Mursi’s ‘democracy’.
On
the other hand, SAUDI KING Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz was quick to commend the
situation, even before the military read its statement on the removal of the
president. King Abdullah congratulated the army for “fulfilling the will of the
people.”
Today,
QATAR’S men who had EGYPT under their grip for a whole year are now on the
country’s most wanted list, following the orders of the south Cairo prosecutor
to apprehend the Brotherhood’s spiritual guide, Mohamed Badie; his deputy,
Khairat al-Shater; and members of the Guidance Office, on charges of inciting
the killing of demonstrators and spreading sectarian strife.
In
his first speech after assuming the rein in QATAR, Emir Tamim maintained that
his country “rejects sectarianism in the Arab world and does not support any
particular political current against the others.” But how will this translate
on the ground?
Will
the young sheikh take off the robe of “Emir of the Arab Spring” inherited from
his father, who had turned it into autumn? Will he make a wise reassessment of QATAR’S
role in the region and its relationship with Islamists who get out of control
if they are disobeyed?

SAUDI ARABIA AND QATAR
THE QATARI PROJECT: “DESTROYING
SAUDI ARABIA”?
NEUTRALITY, AN OPTION?
Tamim
maintained, “QATAR is on the side of the Arab people and their aspirations to
live in freedom and dignity, away from corruption and tyranny.” He repeated the
motto of his predecessors: “QATAR will remain the Kaaba of the oppressed.” The
political project that had hidden under the veil of religion now stands naked.
This is a bad omen for the political future of the new emir, who will not be
able to survive if he continues to extend his hand to the Islamists seeking
power in the region.
As
for EGYPT, an official source in the foreign ministry spoke to the country’s
news agency about the necessity of national cohesion and achieving the goals of
the January 25 revolution. It seems the Qatari government is treating the
situation realistically.
BAD PERFORMANCE OF MURSI AND THE ISLAMISTS UNDERMINED THEIR
IMAGE IN EGYPT, JORDAN, PALESTINE, SYRIA, AND TUNISIA.
A
QATARI journalist considered the statement one of “wisdom and caution that will
shape the features of the new emir’s policy concerning Arab and international
affairs.” There are some in the new emir’s leadership who see that it would be
wise to be neutral or adopt a reformist policy concerning internal political
crises of neighboring countries. However, the miserable performance of Mursi
and the Islamists undermined their image in EGYPT, JORDAN, PALESTINE, SYRIA, and
TUNISIA.
The
political project that had hidden under the veil of religion now stands naked.
This is a bad omen for the political future of the new emir, who will not be
able to survive if he continues to extend his hand to the Islamists seeking
power in the region.
Some
say that the new emir is gradually working to put an end to the “suicidal” and
“confrontational” approach of the former foreign minister. He will set the
tempo for external investments and their impact on political issues. This is in
addition to the haphazard nature of some investments in Western countries,
especially FRANCE and BRITAIN.
(BRITAIN
and FRANCE, together with QATAR have been trying to topple the Assad regime,
for reasons that are partly mentioned above)
Some
analysts believe that Tamim will try to emulate the UAE and compete with it in
attracting foreign investment and international tourism.
Observers
said, “After the fall of QATARI Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad, who was also head
of the committee overseeing the SYRIAN situation, Qatari policies will change
under Tamim. There are those in QATAR today who understand that the war in SYRIA
is no longer confined to that country and is a real and existential threat to
the region.”
SYRIA
CHAOS
After
the exchange of power in QATAR, several predictions have surfaced. However, one
question remains. Where is QATAR heading under its new ruler? Will this small
sheikhdom still exert the same influence on the Arab and International levels,
something that exceeds its real size by thousands and surpasses the role set by
its external sponsors?
Background

QATAR’S
GREAT POWER GAMES
The
reality is that SYRIAN steadfastness against the siege, in addition to popular
anger toward QATAR’S role in spreading chaos, has imposed new facts on the US,
forcing it to be convinced of the fiasco in SYRIA. Therefore, it must get rid
of the tools that failed to fulfill its murderous desires. The first step was
the meeting of the “NATO Islamists” in Cairo to transfer control to SAUDI
ARABIA, through Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s apology and declaration of obedience to the
Kingdom. This was followed by a US security delegation visit to Doha, which
informed Sheikh Hamad of the need for change that would keep Prime Minister
Hamad away from the Arab files. And so it was.
QATAR INVESTED BILLIONS TO EXPAND ITS SPHERE OF INFLUENCE,
IN VAIN SO ITS SEEMS
Today,
QATAR can only count its losses with the fall of the Brotherhood in EGYPT. It
had invested billions to expand its sphere of influence. However, QATARI
investment was faced by wide opposition and raises several questions in Arab
Spring countries, due to their disturbing support for political Islam currents.
While
Qatar faces the shock of the collapse of its allies, many questions have been
raised about the ties that bind QATAR and the Islamists today. Will the fall of
the Brotherhood in EGYPT be the divorce papers between QATAR and the hegemonic
project of political Islam in the region? What about the support to armed
groups in SYRIA, such as al-Nusra Front? What is the future of the Arab Spring
mufti Qaradawi? By the way, where is Qaradawi?
