Spotlight: Qatar and Turkey are questionable allies
Qatar and Turkey, subjects of an ongoing outreach campaign by the Trump Administration, are touted as major players in the newly hatched regional peace plan. Yet, their potential for productive roles is eclipsed by their detrimental actions.
Their ties to numerous terrorist groups are seen in their eagerness to provide aid and comfort to Hamas’s leaders, many of whom enjoy luxurious lifestyles in both countries. The regional plan must hold Qatar and Turkey accountable for their actions and insist that they cease their support for terrorists. Absent these changes, the United States and its allies will continue to reward their nefarious ways to the detriment of regional peace and stability.

Middle East Forum Observer
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.
