Can Israel and Qatar learn to be friends again?

In 2010, Qatar offered Israel the chance to reopen its trade mission in Doha, offering to brush off the welcome mat in exchange for permission to send construction materials to Gaza. It also wanted the Jewish state to issue a public statement hailing its role in the region, and grant it de facto leadership of rebuilding efforts in the Gaza Strip. When Israel scoffed at the idea, Qatar tried again four months later. It was rebuffed a second time.

The latest development is that Qatar's Prince Khalifa Al-Thani is expected to visit Israel in November. This will mark the first time that a member of Qatar's royal family has ever officially visited Israel.

The visit will centre on the launch of the Israel-Palestine Commercial Arbitration Centre, a commercial initiative led by Oren Shachor, president of the International Chamber of Commerce in Israel, and his Palestinian counterpart, Munib al-Masri. This centre will provide arbitration services between Israeli and Palestinian businesspeople, for disputes of up to $7 million.

However, the prince is not visiting Israel just for the inauguration, but to improve trade links. The visit was scheduled over the weekend, during a meeting between al-Thani and Shachor discussing the promotion of commercial relations. There is already some trade between Israel and Qatar, mostly of goods.

According to reports in the Israeli media, the visit in November will focus on the high-tech sector. Qatar's government is keen to strengthen its local high-tech sector, by acquiring both knowledge and technologies, and wants to encourage Israel to export work and development projects to Qatar, rather than to India and Eastern Europe. This would provide jobs and prevent a brain drain of Qataris who have trained at good universities abroad. The itinerary for November's visit is still being built, with al-Thani expected to meet senior Israelis from the high-tech and venture capital industries.

The emir of the kunt entity is USA's dog, no such thing as friends in politics.
Dog of USA > Dog of Iran, AKA Maliki :lol:

The only "kunt" entity in the region is the one who forbids war against invaders from it's head pope/mob boss leader (who refused their own country's citizenship) but allows it on its on people. So much pride :lol:

The "kunt" entity is the one who does: "'6rbni w bka, sbgni w ishtka," invade kuwait, cry when retaliated against. And you're saying they're a "kunt."

smh

There are no Iranian soldiers in Iraq, Iran has no military bases in Iraq, in no way can you compare Iran's regional influence or any of the conspiracy theories your brainwashed with to the US grip on the Gulf states and Jordan.

Jordan which was friends with Saddam yet couldn't do anything but allow US forces to use it's soil in 2003, same role they have today in the Syrian war. Jordan's British king betrayed Egypt & Syria in 1973 by informing Israel ahead of the war. Kuwait has around 10.000 US forces in Bubiyan Island, Qatar like 15.000 US forces, Bahrain is the 5th fleet naval base, UAE has US air force squadrons stationed on it's Al Dhafra Air Base.

You mean your superior Ayatollah Sistani speaking against jihad on the invaders, he's a religious leader not a state leader if you mean him then it's him that you should call a kunt not us. Nevertheless there was still heavy resistance from the Rafida.

The "kunt" entity is the one who does: "'6rbni w bka, sbgni w ishtka," invade kuwait, cry when retaliated against. And you're saying they're a "kunt."

smh
6rbni w bka what is this gibberish, type it in English, Saddam invaded Kuwait with equipment acquired through your Saudi oil money, you gave it to him, blame yourself. Also nowhere did I say 'kunt' against Kuwait, read it again.

It doesn't matter, the fact remains that Iraqi soldiers served in am army that invaded kuwait and launched missiles int Saudi.

Sistani is in Najaf, protected by Iraqis. Half of Iraqis consider him their superior leader. If iraqis don't really subscribe to his thought then they should kick him out, just like the Saudis did with extremist. The funny thing is that you're dismissing what Sistani is saying or what Saddam is doing by simply saying that it's not you, even though these leader were officially supported by the establishment. Yet, you still blame Saudis and Qataris for the actions of people that they officially disowned and have no association with. Terrorists that the people in the gulf don't even know or have ever seen, but they still get blamed. Logic.

Saddam had no choice but to call for the invasion of Kuwait or declare the country bankrupt, what would you do ? He didn't call for the invasion for imperial dreams or anything like that.

As Iraq came out of war in 1988 it had to rebuild it's economy, knowing Iraq's economy relies on the export of oil they were in need of a reasonable price back then. Out of nowhere Kuwait lowered oil prices + requested all the billions they gave to Iraq back then, allegations have also been made of slant drilling though even keeping that part out, it's a declaration of economic war. Perhaps this was what the US wanted Kuwait to do knowing Saddam would respond with aggression so they could move in, remove Saddam and establish their bases in the Gulf to control the world's energy. They lied about many things to implement Desert storm operation, they wanted it after all, a good opportunity as the USSR fell.

They have their Ayatollah you have your grand mufti. You didn't kick out the grand mufti either did you.
If Sistani would have called for jihad on the invaders it would turn into a bigger mess knowing the USA, they would carpet bomb every city so it was good that he didn't. Most GCC states have no interest in any of this except Qatar and Saudi Arabia as of today, Saudi Arabia supported the same likes as ISIS and Nusra in Afghanistan back in the day to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan then imprisoned those that returned, they have been doing the same in Syria until ISIS ( true mujahideen ) started to kill the FSA.

the we "invaded Kuwait because we had to" line can be used by everyone. USA is always in debt and is always on the brink of bankruptcy, does that justify their actions? this is so outrageous I'm not gonna bother responding..

Does it look like i'm Saddam, I already said I don't support him.

What I gave here were the reasons for the invasion, Saddam made the choice of invasion based on these reasons.

So what about other Arabs or you, I guess Khaleejis are one of the finest people out there ?

World's biggest terrorist and vermin originate from the Arabian Peninsula.
