Israel's Peres meets Amir of Qatar
Wednesday 31st January 2007


DOHA: Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres held talks yesterday with the Amir of Qatar Shaikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani. The meeting was attended by Qatar's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ahmed Abdullah Al Mahmoud, the official QNA news agency reported.

Peres arrived in Doha on Monday to take part in a debate on the Middle East with students.

He was expected to "put forward the Israeli position in front of 300 students", Sharon Kravicky, his spokeswoman said.

The debate is an initiative by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Development.

Other reports said last night that Peres rejected a proposal by Shaikh Hamad to hold direct negotiations with the Hamas-led Palestinian government.

Peres said Israel will not offer any opportunity to Hamas for direct peace negotiations unless the Palestinian group recognises Israel.

Like most Arab countries, Qatar does not have diplomatic relations with Israel, but the Jewish state has a commercial interests office manned by two diplomats in Doha, and representatives of both countries also meet on a regular basis.

Peres visited Qatar as a prime minister in 1996.

Qatar wants its own indepndent policy & that's what it's doing right now. Being in the pocket of KSA & backward Wahabi idealogy can drive nations nuts, & therefore Qatar is sending lip-service to the Arab and indeed Islamic worlds that it's an independent entity.

the Israelis are being told by washington that they're a liability and have 2 years to sort out a peace treaty or the US will drop them like a hot potato.

So the Israelis are doing everything, war in Lebanon, flying sorties near the Iranian border, visiting cowardly pathetic dumbass Gulf rulers to plead their case. All because they're running out of time.

Even ex-President Jimmy Carter has berrated Israel in his latest book:

The arabs have to stop behaving like retards and have a common policy where they at least support Hezbullah and the Palestinians. Or at least shut the hell up: Saudi & Egypt. Jordanian King has to go and democracy be established in Jordan - that monkeyboy is a complete retard. Yehud Barak was right he is 'King of Monkeys' But without the flying cloud and magic staff.. lol

where do you get this information from? the US will never abandon israel. the US is run by israel.

[sayenforever]

No they don't. As soon as Israel proves themselves to be a liability to the US - the US will drop them. Israel just always manages to reinvent themselves to be of use to US (anti-communist, then anti-Islamist)
