A few days ago, the former
Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, Hamad Bin Jassim, announced in an
interview with the BBC that his country provided all kinds of assistance to
armed opposition groups in Syria via the Turkey for years.
Doha was not the
only one to show support for the anti-Assad forces, as it was joined by the
United States, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE and Turkey itself. All this began
in 2007 after Israel suffered a humiliating defeat in southern Lebanon, being
unable to overcome Hezbollah resistance in 2006. According to the former Qatari
prime minister, Qatar was in charge of what he called the "Syrian
file" on behalf of the United States and Saudi Arabia, adding that he had access
to American and Saudi documents on the staging of a so-called "Syrian
civil war".
Hamad Bin Jassim announced
that arms and equipment have been distributed to various opposition groups via
Turkey. These operations were a routine for the US, Turkish and Saudi military
in this country. At the same time, Incirlik airbase would host a joint
operational headquarters, where intelligence officers from the United States,
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Jordan, Israel , France
and Britain were to coordinate operations in Syria. Washington went so far as
to send six special reconnaissance satellites so that these officers could
observe the entire Syrian territory 24 hours a day. This operational command
center was responsible for military operations in northern Syria. With respect
to operations in southern Syria, Washington has created a similar command
center for Jordan Hussein Air Base, where officers from Jordan, Israel, the
United States Britain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar would
join forces to try to defeat the Syrian government.
The former prime minister
of Qatar announced that $ 137 billion had been squandered in attempts to
overthrow the Assad government since the beginning of the war, while some of
these funds were stolen by various commanders who became millionaires of the
day. next day. In addition, considerable resources have been squandered in
attempts to bribe Syrian soldiers to persuade them to betray their country or
desert their positions. On average, a Syrian officer would receive from 15 to
30 thousand dollars to betray his country.
The former Qatari official reportedly said that Syria's former prime minister, Riyad Farid Hijab, was persuaded to flee Syria by his cousin who had been living in Jordan for a long time. For this treason, Riyadh would have paid him a nice sum of 50 million dollars. In addition, former Republican Guard commander Manaf Tlass reportedly sold his home country for a chance to gain support from the United Arab Emirates because of his sister's successful attempts to persuade him to leave. His sister, Madihi Tlass, enjoys French citizenship since becoming the widow of Syrian-Saudi businessman Akram Aja. This fact allowed the French intelligence services to approach him to carry out the operation mentioned above.

According to Hamad Bin
Jassim, Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri played a major role in fomenting
the Syrian conflict with broad support from several pro-Saudi Lebanese
officials. In addition, the former Qatari prime minister mentioned the role
played by Iraqi Kurds in the Syrian "civil war", especially Massoud
Barzani. At the end of the interview, he announced that his government had
played a big role in the destruction of Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen, acting
on behalf of Washington.
It is difficult to say what prompted such a personality to make these revelations. Most of the facts he mentions were known to analysts who are closely following Syrian events. But this time, instead of being satisfied with reports from "certain sources of trust", we are dealing with a real confession made by the man behind the so-called movement of color revolutions in the Arab world. Perhaps he obeyed the orders of the current Emir who turned against Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan, breaking off all diplomatic relations with the Persian Gulf monarchies.

But then the question
arises: why did the former prime minister talk about the role of the United
States and Turkey? States with which Doha has a close relationship for a long
time? Today, Hamad Bin Jassim found himself in a difficult situation, as the
Qatar Investment Fund has become legendary in the Arab world for its corrupt
practices. The US and British intelligence services have accumulated enough
compromising records to blackmail the former public servant for life. And with
Riyadh, there is no point in spoiling the relationship, as King Salman is about
to give up his post on behalf of his son, Crown Prince Mohammed. And Qatar will
then have a chance to find a common language with Saudi Arabia.
However, Jassim's motives behind these revelations are a much less interesting topic than the reluctance of international agencies to open an international inquiry into all the circumstances of the overthrow of the legitimate governments of a number of Middle Eastern states, as well as on the continuing attempts to destroy Yemen and Syria, which are in flagrant violation of the norms of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. And all the leaders of the countries mentioned by the Prime Minister of Qatar, including himself, must be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court for their actions that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. It is clear that these agencies have themselves been compromised for a long time, but justice deserves a try. Or at least one could attract more attention to the interview of Qatari officials. Such revelations should not be ignored.
