Spotlight: Qatar Must End Its Terrorism Support
Qatar’s double game as both U.S. ally for counterterrorism and major state sponsor of terrorism went up in flames with Israel’s September 9, 2025, bombing of Hamas’s luxury Doha headquarters, killing several senior leaders of the designated terrorist organization.
It’s time for the Qataris to choose sides: ally with the civilized world against men who slaughter innocents in cold blood, or maintain their ties to and support for terrorists. They should make their choice knowing that harboring killers now comes at a price.

Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
