"Qatar has played a major role in getting Israeli hostages out of Gaza, but it’s facing growing pressure to distance itself from Hamas.

In this week’s episode of “The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green”, Fran Townsend, president of the Counter Extremism Project, says her organization believes Qatar is harboring terrorists."

"Gaza – The deaths of others are apparently more bearable when you have air conditioning and room service. While the war in Israel continues to escalate following the atrocities committed by Hamas and civilians fear for their lives, the leadership of the terrorist organization resides far away in luxury hotels. 'Hamas' top leaders have been in Qatar for years. They are accommodated very comfortably there and are having a good time,' says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP)."

"A recent press release from Counter Extremism Project (CEP) CEO Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and CEP president Frances F. Townsend calls on 'all lobbying and public relations firms to cease working with or representing the Government of Qatar until it detains the Hamas leadership responsible for the October 7 massacre in Israel and remands them into U.S., Israeli, or appropriate third party-custody.' They add that 'Qatar is complicit in the harboring of Hamas leadership, the promotion of their terrorism activities, and the proliferation of their vile antisemitism.'"

"'CEP strongly supports the Trust But Verify Act. Qatar has long played both arsonist and firefighter, harboring and funding terrorists responsible for the deaths of Americans and Israelis and the captivity of many more. The U.S. must force Qatar to choose between being an American ally or a partner of terrorists. We thank Congressman Ogles for sponsoring this bill and urge Congress to pass it.' - Counter Extremism Project."
