Le Qatar, cet ami incontournable que Macron tente de rattraper
En visite d’État à Paris, l’émir du #Qatar est un acteur central dans la crise au Proche-Orient. Après l’avoir accusé de complaisance avec le terrorisme, puis boudé au profit de ses rivaux saoudien et émirati, le président français s’évertue à exhiber une amitié retrouvée.
Un si doux pays.

Otages à Gaza, affaires judiciaires et business: les dessous de la visite de l’émir du Qatar à Paris
Des documents préparatoires à la visite d’État de l’émir du #Qatar en France, qui commence mardi, montrent les concessions accordées par l’Élysée pour s’attirer les bonnes grâces de l’émirat, sur fond de crise à Gaza.
In hopes of supporting a charitable cause, the event, organised by Q Life, a cultural platform under the International Media Office (IMO), in collaboration with Education Above All (EAA) and the #Qatar#Football Association (QFA), aims to raise funds for #education projects in six countries; #Palestine, #Sudan, #Mali, #Rwanda, #Tanzania, and #Pakistan.
The EAA aims to empower marginalised youths to enter well-structured educational programs.
Maybe it should be investigated, who was lobbying for deregulation and, to put it mildly, whether "due process" for all #EU officials was maintained in the light of recent scandals of members of the European Parliament accepting bribes* from #Qatar and #Morocco*** for other "favors."
#Israel has said it has informed the families of 31 people held in the territory since 7 October that their relatives are dead. The news came as the Qatari prime minister said #Hamas had given a “generally positive” response to proposals for a deal trading a break in the fighting and release of #Palestinian prisoners for the return of more #hostages.
The loss of civilian lives was the biggest in weeks. #Hamas said the incident could jeopardize talks in #Qatar aimed at securing a #ceasefire and the release of #IsraeliHostages it is holding. When asked if he thought it would complicate the talks, US President #JoeBiden said: “I know it will.” #Israel
The 1st round of retaliatory #UnitedStates strikes against #Iran-linked militants in #Iran & #Syria killed dozens of fighters & several #civilians, acc/to statements from Iraq government, #militia groups & a local monitoring network on Sat, as the #Biden admin attempts to respond to the killing of 3 US soldiers & injuring of >30 others at #Tower22 in #Jordan w/o escalating the regional conflict.
#UnitedStates Secy of State Antony #Blinken will embark on a 5-day trip to #SaudiArabia, #Egypt, #Qatar, #Israel & the #WestBank on Sunday….
The visit to the region will be his 5th since the #Oct7#Hamas attack against Israel….Blinken will continue efforts for a deal to secure the release of all remaining #hostages held by Hamas & to implement a pause in the fighting to “allow for sustained, increased delivery of #humanitarian assistance” to #Gaza civilians, the State Dept said.
Representatives from four nations (#UnitedStates, #Israel, #Egypt & #Qatar) have agreed to have Qatar present a nascent framework to #Hamas that proposes a six-week pause in the #war in #Gaza for Hamas to exchange some #hostages for #Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, officials say.
