According to Shoresh, Qatar operates a 'protection racket' disguised as mediation. The report alleges that Qatar funds and hosts Hamas leadership while simultaneously positioning itself as an 'indispensable mediator' to the international community. The article argues that Qatar's role in hostage negotiations is a direct payoff for its support of the hostage-takers, and that its media arm, Al Jazeera, is used to control the conflict narrative. The piece further claims that Qatar's status as a Major non-NATO Ally is used as leverage to prevent Western criticism.
