Qatar has reportedly informed Hamas leaders they are “not welcome” in the country, according to sources cited by Israeli broadcaster KAN on Friday. The move follows recent pressure from the United States, KAN reported, and comes just days after Donald Trump became the president-elect, ushering a new era of foreign policy into the White House.
For years, Qatar hosted members of Hamas leadership, ostensibly to support dialogue during negotiations, including those around hostage situations. However, three sources familiar with the recent discussions revealed that Qatar’s stance has shifted, telling Hamas leaders to leave the country.
Egyptian sources also told Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar that direct talks with senior Hamas officials have continued, including a recent round of discussions on November 5, coinciding with the U.S. elections.

The other time ywn said that Hamas leaders had billions and was living luxury in Qatar now there is no more billions and what if they ask turkey to find some worth for BRICS
This is a bunch of gobbledygook! Qatar is a major financier of Hamas. They’ve been sending huge fortunes of funding these past years. Theirs is a country where slavery is still alive and well. You buy people! They’re interested in peace! They just want to kiss up to Donald the Trumpet.
