Egyptian Journalist Ibrahim Eissa: Qatar Plays a 'Double Agent' Role as Does Al Jazeera TV; Qatar Foments Every Sectarian Conflict and Political Chaos in the Arab World
Eissa said that Al-Jazeera plays the same role as Qatar itself - that of a double agent. He accused Qatar of being behind every sectarian conflict, civil war, terrorist operation, or episode of political chaos in the Arab world. He stated that Qatar hosts and bankrolls political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood, while simultaneously supporting Iran. Eissa noted that both Iran and Israel consider Qatar a friend, while the U.S. sees it not only as a friend but as an ally. He added that Qatar funds both Sunni terrorist groups in Syria and Shiite extremist groups, and it is actively building ties with Hizbullah.

Netanyahu: Israel wants Gaza under non-threatening Arab control
Shafaq News – Middle East On Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel intends to impose full military control over Gaza Strip, with the goal of later transferring its administration to Arab forces in what he described as an orderly manner. In an interview with US broadcaster Fox News, Netanyahu explained he plans to establish a security cordon around the enclave, stressing that 'Israel does not intend to remain in Gaza as a governing authority.' Meanwhile, Israel's security cabinet will convene to discuss the potential expansion of military operations in Gaza. According to Israeli media outlets, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir is expected to present detailed timelines for military plans requested by the political leadership during the session. The proposed plans range from gradual operations and partial occupation to full military control of Gaza, with each scenario accompanied by an assessment of the associated risks.

Former Palestinian PM Mohammad Shtayyeh: October 7 Was A Courageous Historic Operation, But It Was Miscalculated; Hamas Did Not Take Into Consideration The Citizens Of Gaza; We Invite Hamas To Join Th
Former Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said in a July 29, 2025 interview on the Mazeej Podcast by Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that Hamas's October 7, 2023 invasion and massacres in southern Israel were a "courageous" and "unprecedented" operation that were an "important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle," but that its ultimate result should also be inspected. He said that this "adventure" should have taken consequences into consideration, and he criticized Hamas for not having taken the citizens of Gaza into consideration, explaining that October 7 was "miscalculated." Later in the interview, he said that the PLO wants to reach an agreement with Hamas about the Palestinians' ultimate goals, and that the Palestinians should be united in peace and in war under the leadership of the sole representative of the Palestinian people, the PLO. He added that Hamas is welcome to become part of the PLO and to change its political platform from within. Mohammad Shtayyeh: "October 7 was a courageous and unprecedented operation. Honestly. It is an important crossroad in the history of the Palestinian struggle. [...] "But I also say that we should look at where it led things. No person in the world goes on a [reckless] adventure and just jumps in the void, because if you jumped into the void, you'd fall on the ground and break your neck. Any adventure should take into consideration the consequences, because even if Hamas was prepared to protect its members in the tunnels – as brother [Musa] Abu Marzouk stated – it had taken no consideration for the [Gaza] citizens. Therefore, I can say, in one sentence, that October 7 was miscalculated. [...] "We want to reach an agreement [with Hamas] about our goals. Do we want a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders? Do we want to liberate all the land? Do we want a state 'from the River to the Sea?' We want to reach an agreement. "Then, we need to agree on the way to achieve this goal. It can't be that one side is making peace [with Israel] on its own, and the other side is going to war by itself. United we go to peace, and united we go to war, under the banner of the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, which is the PLO. [...] "We are not asking for anything from Hamas. We are not asking them to recognize Israel, or anything. All we are asking Hamas is to join the PLO. [...] "Hamas is welcome to become a part of the PLO, and change its political platform from within."

Editor Of Saudi Daily Warns Hamas Not To Refuse To Disarm And Cede Power In Gaza
In an August 4, 2025 article in the Saudi government daily Al-Jazirah, the daily's editor-in-chief, Khalid Bin Hamad Al-Malik, slammed Hamas for refusing to disarm and cede power in Gaza Strip, as advocated in the concluding statement of the international conference for advancing the two-state solution, held in New York on July 28-30, 2025 under the sponsorship of Saudi Arabia and France.[1] Hamas's position, he wrote, may lead to losing an opportunity and stopping the current momentum in the world for recognizing a Palestinian state and implementing the two-state solution. He urges Hamas to act responsibly, cede power in the Strip to the Palestinian Authority, and prefer the establishment of a Palestinian state over endless bloodshed. Rejectionism, he warns, will only play into the hands of Israel and the U.S., which themselves reject the two-state solution, and will give them an excuse to stick to that position. Khalid Bin Hamad Al-Malik (Image: The following are translated excerpts from Al-Malik's article:[2] "The U.S. and Israel rejected the conference on the two-state solution and its resolutions, and Hamas responded to the conference by refusing to surrender its weapons… By taking this position, Hamas is making a historic mistake and missing [the chance] to leverage the world's recognition of a Palestinian state and the momentum that has revived the Palestinian cause. "Hamas knows that the events of October 7, 2023 harmed the Palestinian cause and the dream of establishing a Palestinian state more than they helped them. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed, over 100,000 have been wounded, about 90 percent of the Gaza Strip is in ruins and Israel has occupied large parts of it. In addition, the powers supporting [Hamas], namely Iran and Hizbullah, have been weakened. Another outcome of the October 7 events is that the U.S. and Europe joined the war on Israel's side by [providing it with] the weapons that allowed it to eliminate Hamas's leaders one by one, as well as Hizbullah's leaders and Iran's. After Isael tightened the noose [around Gaza]… and took over all the [border] crossings in order to prevent entry and egress, Hamas was left with nothing to bargain with except for the [Israeli] hostages, which it [agrees to release only in exchange for] an end to the war, [a demand] that is rejected by Israel and the U.S. "While all the wars and bloody conflicts and the many sacrifices have failed to achieve much, there is still a glimmer of hope that the Palestinian issue can be resolved through peaceful means, by getting the Western states to recognize [a Palestinian state]… This initiative [is being promoted] by the [Saudi] kingdom along with France. They organized the conference on the two-state solution, after which, for the very first time in history, Western countries recognized [a Palestinian state] one after the other. In its resolutions this conference stated that Hamas must be disarmed and be excluded from the administration of the [Palestinian] state. "I hope that Hamas's leaders act reasonably and wisely and prefer the establishment of a Palestinian state over [their] wish [to see] the movement continue to fight, which does not serve the Palestinian cause. [I hope] they accept what the [participating] countries agreed on at the conference, and hand the management of the [Gaza] Strip over to a Palestinian element that will act properly by taking what can be taken instead of refusing it, so as to prevent bloodshed and bring peace and stability to all the Palestinians… "I warn Hamas not to refuse [the demands to] surrender its weapons, cede [power] in Gaza and not be part of the management of the [Palestinian] state. If it does [refuse], it will conform to the positions of the U.S. and Israel, who [likewise] oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state. It will torpedo the outcomes of the conference on the two-state solution, just like Washington and Tel Aviv did, and enable them to reject [the establishment of] a Palestinian state by citing the position of Hamas's leaders. "Hamas ceding power in Gaza to the Palestinian Authority until the arrangements for the establishment of a Palestinian state [are completed] – despite all the challenges [this poses] – is the preferred and best way to thwart any excuse and claim that Israel and the U.S. may hide behind in order to oppose the plan of the Palestinian state. We do not want Hamas to be the excuse for thwarting the [Saudi] kingdom's efforts to attain the Palestinians' rights… Hamas is [of course] entitled to demand guarantees that the conference's resolutions will indeed be implemented [as a condition for] doing what is required of it."
