Why Are We Following Qatar’s Foreign Policy on Iran?From Syria to Gaza to Iran, Qatar is hijacking the Trump administration.January 22, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield Syria’s Al Qaeda regime is massacring Kurds to free imprisoned ISIS terrorists, state sponsors of Hamas in Turkey and Qatar are being named to boards running Gaza and thousands of democracy protesters are being massacred in Iran while Al Jazeera defends the regime.
This isn’t American foreign policy, but it is Qatar’s foreign policy.
The White House’s foreign policy in the Muslim world is now virtually identical to Qatar’s foreign policy apart from Israel. And as thousands die in Iran after empty promises of support, there is a bigger picture here of institutional capture by a tiny and powerful Islamic terrorist state.
Viewed in isolation, the refusal to intervene in Iran might be mistaken for a determination to concentrate on America and China, but that does not explain why the Trump administration has dedicated time and prestige to propping up the Al Qaeda leader of Syria to the point of helping him out by releasing and importing ISIS terrorists to America.
Nor does it explain a convoluted plan for Gaza in which a top Qatari official supportive of Hamas and notorious for his alleged links to spying operations using ex-CIA agents to the ‘Gaza Executive Board’ and the entire plan to reconstruct Gaza. It’s certainly not helping Israel which has been vocal in opposing Qatar and fellow Hamas state sponsor Turkey from playing a role.
Nor does it even begin to explain why we’re negotiating with the Taliban to go back into Afghanistan with a U.S. military presence for ‘counterterrorism’ purposes when the terrorists whom we’re negotiating with, much as in Syria, are the ones in charge of the country.
