Saudi Zio-Wahhabi Family Requires From Doha to Expel Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood Members

NOVANEWS Saudi Zio-Wahhabi family set out several conditions for Qatar to normalize the bilateral relations amid the diplomatic rift and gave Doha 24 hours for the implementation of the conditions, local media reported Wednesday. According to Akhbar Al Aan news outlet, the conditions included the expulsion of all the members of the Muslim Brotherhood terror group (outlawed in Russia) and the Palestinian Hamas movement from the country, freezing of their bank accounts and the suspension of any interrelations with these groups.

The Machiavellian Plot to Provoke Saudi Arabia and Qatar into a “Blood Border” War

NOVANEWS By Andrew Korybko 21st Century Wire Experts all across the world are trying to figure out what’s really fueling the Qatari-Saudi Cold War, but the answer is simple – the US. As it’s always prone to do, Washington is masterfully playing a game of divide and conquer in the Mideast, doing the same thing to its Gulf allies as it did to its North African ones during the theater-wide “Arab Spring” Color Revolutions, except this time pitting them against one another on a state-to-state level as opposed to an intra-state one between the government and some of its citizenry. The long-term purpose behind all of this is to usher in Ralph Peters’ 2006 “Blood Borders” blueprint for the “New Middle East”, wherein the Gulf eventually undergoes a geopolitical reengineering just like...

How This Week’s Gulf Diplomatic Feud Unfolded

NOVANEWS Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani gives a press conference in Doha, on June 8, 2017. KARIM JAAFAR/AFP/Getty Images On Monday, June 5, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Yemen, and Libya’s eastern-based government aligned with Khalifa Haftar cut diplomatic ties with Qatar and accused the country of causing regional instability.

Gulf States Launch Naval Blockade Of Qatar

NOVANEWS By Tyler Durden Zero Hedge In what has emerged as the most significant escalation to result from the Qatar diplomatic crisis – which pits two of OPEC’s largest oil producers, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, against the world’s biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas and further disrupts stability in the region – the biggest Middle East oil and container ports banned all vessels sailing to and from Qatar from using their facilities. According to a notice posted on the website of Inchcape Shipping, Saudi Arabian and Bahraini authorities closed off all of their ports to Qatari-flagged vessels or ships traveling to or coming from the Persian Gulf state, in what has been described as a naval blockade.

“Forget Terrorism”: The Real Reason Behind the Qatar Crisis Is Natural Gas

NOVANEWS By Tyler Durden Zero Hedge According to the official narrative, the reason for the latest Gulf crisis in which a coalition of Saudi-led states cut off diplomatic and economic ties with Qatar, is because – to everyone’s “stunned amazement” – Qatar was funding terrorists, and after Trump’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia in which he urged a crackdown on financial support of terrorism, and also following the FT’s report that Qatar has directly provided $1 billion in funding to Iran and al-Qaeda spinoffs, Saudi Arabia finally had had enough of its “rogue” neighbor, which in recent years had made ideologically unacceptable overtures toward both Shia Iran and Russia. However, as often happens, the official narrative is traditionally a convenient smokescreen from the real unde...

Russia And Qatar: Back Channel Diplomacy Over Syria

NOVANEWS By Andrew Korybko Two of the world’s seemingly most unlikely partners, Russia and Qatar, have been moving closer to one another over the past year in spite of their polar opposite views towards the War on Syria. It’s well known among the global public how Moscow supports the democratically elected and legitimate leadership of President Assad, while Doha has been behind Al Nusra and countless other “moderate rebel opposition” (terrorist) groups since day one, though the time appears to be coming where both state sponsors are making inroads towards reaching a fabled so-called “political solution”. Russia has made it abundantly clear on many occasions that the War on Syria can only be wrapped up with a political, not military, solution, which therefore infers some sort of...

Qatar calls into question its sincerity in pushing World Cup-driven reform

NOVANEWS By James M. Dorsey For much of the last six years since winning the hosting rights of the 2022 World Cup, Qatar appeared to be taking a slow and torturous path towards some degree of reform. Yet, in an increasingly conservative world in which human rights are put on the back burner, fears among rights and trade union activists that lofty Qatari promises of labour reform and some degree of greater liberalism may not be much more than just lofty undertakings appear to be gaining steam. To be sure, the controversial awarding of the hosting rights has contributed to more open discussion in Qatar of hitherto taboo subjects, including the rights of workers who constitute the vast majority of the population of the tiny, energy-rich Gulf state; the definition of Qatari identity; what r...

Suspected Bribe by Saudi Arabia and Qatar Paid to Bill Clinton While Hillary Was Secretary of State

NOVANEWS By Eric Zuesse Global Research BACKGROUND A Reuters report, November 4th, contains the available information regarding the million-dollar payment, which was made in 2011, when the active effort began to overthrow Bashar al-Assad in Syria. This previously unreported payment, which was intended to go through the Clinton Foundation, was made by Qatar, which, along with Saudi Arabia, are the main sources of funding to the jihadists who are trying to overthrow and replace Assad, the man who is blocking those two countries from building oil and gas pipelines through Syria into Europe. Both Qatar and Saudi Arabia are owned by their country’s royal family, who also own the world’s largest oil and gas reserves, and those royals want to pipeline their oil and gas into Europe a...

Murder in the name of Allah, funded by Zio-Wahhabi’s Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait

NOVANEWS Murder in the name of Allah, funded by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait Nureddin Sabir, Editor, Redress Information & Analysis, writes: Syria has been destroyed and its people dispossessed by the Muslim Brotherhood and its malignant prodigies, courtesy of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Turkey. One of these murderous prodigies is Al-Nusra Front (Partisans Front), which has long been affiliated to Al-Qaeda. Recently, with the blessing of Al-Qaeda’s leader, Ayman Zawahiri, it supposedly “ended” its ties to Al-Qaeda and changed its name to Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of Syria). This is a ploy intended to increase its appeal within Syria and the West, and facilitate its formal inclusion in what Western government deceptively call “Syria’s moderate opposition”. ...
