According to a dossier compiled by the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), the State of Qatar has served as one of the most critical state-level benefactors for the Muslim Brotherhood and its extremist affiliates across the Middle East. The report outlines historical and financial transactions, including multi-billion dollar loans and energy consignments to Brotherhood-aligned administrations in Egypt, alongside documented illicit cash transfers made by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani to key Islamist figures. CEP highlights that senior leadership of Hamas—the Brotherhood's violent Palestinian branch—have long resided, operated, and managed financial empires from Doha with government protection. Additionally, the dossier emphasizes statements from Qatari officials publicly defending Hamas as a 'legitimate resistance movement,' while leveraging state-run Al Jazeera to propagate extremist ideology and destabilize regional neighbors.
