Israel strikes Qatar

The latest and sudden strikes of Israel on Qatar have created massive tension in the world communities. Moreover, many conventional allies of Israel have started to criticize Israel directly, which includes Germany, Britain, and India as well. 

However, Qatar has strong diplomatic ties with the US, and it is evident that the United States is quite embarrassed by the recent course of events. 
 
Moreover, it has not been long since we saw President Putin cherishing his Private Jet, which Qatar gifted. Moreover, this showed that the United States was slowly cozying up to Qatar. 

The recent strikes of Israel to kill Hamas Officials could spark massive outrage and unwanted unrest in the region. However, the strike did not kill any eminent leader of  Hamas, but it definitely killed some of the lower-ranking officials of Hamas. 

However, the global countries and the major Gulf nations see this as a threat to Qatar’s national interests. 

Amid the developments in the Middle East, Piers Morgan invited Jeffrey Sachs to his show to discuss the recent developments. Jeffrey Sachs serves as one of the most renowned economists and the president of the Earth Institute. 

Jeffrey Sachs At Piers Morgan Uncensored

Here is the overview of the things that were discussed between Piers Morgan and Jeffrey Sachs at the “Piers Morgan Uncensored” 

What Was Jeffrey Sachs’s First Reaction When He Heard That Israel struck Qatar?

Piers Morgan, the popular British political commentator and the host of the show Piers Morgan Uncensored, asked Jaffery Sachs what his reaction was when he heard that Israel had deliberately struck Qatar? 

Jaffrey D. Sachs pointed out that “Qatar was struck by both Israel and Iran within a few months”.    

Moreover, Sachs referred to the irony that Israel and Iran, despite being each other’s adversaries, both have enmity with Qatar. 

Jeffrey also points out another thing that a few months ago, Donald Trump had approached Hamas to take his terms, which Israel had also agreed to, or else Hamas might not get a second chance. 

However, Jeffrey suggests that, at the moment, Hamas’s presence in Qatar is one of the biggest challenges. Moreover, Qatar is one of the biggest non-NATO Allies of the USA in the Gulf. 

Thus, Jeffery considers the strike of Israel on Qatar as one of the most “Embarrassing to Trump”. Jeffery emphasizes that if Trump had actually known about these events before, then this would be further embarrassing for Donald Trump. 

How Will This Effect The Relations Between Qatar And Palestine?

Piers Morgan, the host of the show, says that a few days ago, he was present in Qatar when he was covering the state dinner where the Emir of Qatar had hosted President Donald Trump.  

Moreover, the host of the show expressed that he had witnessed a great deal of warmth between President Trump and the Emir of Qatar.  

Piers Morgan thinks that this was supposed to “roll out” a lot of anger from the side of the Qataris for obvious reasons.  

However, Piers Morgan also may have felt frustrated by the actions of Donald Trump, as Piers Morgan thinks that most of the “diplomacy may have gone up in smoke”. 

Moreover, the host also mentions that all of the “attacks may have been just a failure” as Hamas claimed that none of their leaders were killed. 

However, after saying this, Piers Morgan wants to know about Jeffrey Sachs’s opinion. 

What Does Jeffrey Think About India And Israel Relations Being Tarnished?

Jeffrey suggests that he does not think that all the efforts of diplomacy have actually “gone up in smokes”. Moreover, Jeffery thinks that Trump was already frustrated.  

Moreover, Jeffer assumes this because so much of the negotiations for so long have not been able to make Hamas say “yes” to the terms and conditions of the ceasefire. 

The renowned political scientist believes that Trump blames Hamas more for the failure than Israel. 

However, Jeffrey thinks that the recent events related to the Israelis striking Qatar should have actually irritated Trump. 

However, Jeffrey thinks that Netanyahu feels that he can get away with it. Jeffery emphasizes that he believes that Israel can strike all the Iranian proxies in the region with “impunity’. 

Moreover, the list of Iranian proxies includes Hezbollah, Yemen, Hotis, and others. Furthermore, Israel has the capabilities to strike Iran as well.  

Hence, Israel still serves as one of the most crucial allies of the USA. Moreover, Israel serves as a hammer for the USA in the Middle East region. 

What Has Been The Approach Of Israel?

Here is what we think about the recent course of development between Israel and Qatar, followed by the Airstrike on the 9th of September. 

The conversations in the 46-minute-long podcast discussed several other topics. However, political scientists and experts, such as Jeffrey Sachs, have been amused by the recent course of events.  

In between the podcast, a clip from Naftali Bennett with Yalda Hakim also surfaced, where he compared Israel’s Strike on Gaza with the Americans’ Striking Abbottabad. Naftali tried to justify the event while saying that it was a strike against terrorism. 

However, Israel’s actions in Qatar were way different from what we people witnessed in Abbottabad.  

Moreover, Pakistan, unlike Qatar, has been hosting multiple terrorist organizations for a long period of time. Moreover, everything happened under the auspices of the Pakistani intelligence.  

Hence, the Pakistani authorities cooperated with the Americans. However, this is completely different from that. Moreover, Israel suddenly attacked Qatar. 

The Big Jar Take On Qatar’s Air Strike On Israel: Will This Tarnish Israel’s Image?

Israel’s actions will definitely tarnish the relationship between the USA and Qatar. The Israeli PM, a few days ago, said this on the PBD (Bet Patrick David) podcast that their way to win the “information war is by winning the on-ground war, and winning it as quickly as possible” 

Moreover, this suggests that Israel does not think about its image much since the country has conventionally faced diplomatic hostilities. Furthermore, Jeffrey also pointed out in the podcast that Israel was now eliminating their adversaries rather than trying to establish any sort of deterrence. 

Thus, Israel cares less for its image.
