CEP CEO Mark D. Wallace quoted: "But some voices are being raised to reassess Western ties with Qatar. Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, was quoted in The Telegraph as calling for assets linked to the Qatari state and royal family to be frozen 'until the Qataris turn over the worst of the worst terror leaders in the world.'

According to Wallace, 'The Qataris should be ostracized and their role should forever change in the world, given what happened.'

But, as Wallace well knows, there is a big difference between what should happen and what will happen, and the likelihood of the West treating Qatar as a pariah is slim – though some perceptions of the oil-rich kingdom are undoubtedly changing."

"This weekend the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a non-profit international policy organisation, called for a boycott of three hotels in London that are owned by senior Qataris or the country’s sovereign wealth fund until 'the Al Thani royal family surrender the orchestrators' of the October 7 attack."

"Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a non-profit international policy organisation, said: 'It is untenable that the Qatari government should continue to profit from its business interests around the world while funds are re-patriated and used to support the perpetrators of mass murder.'"

"Mark Wallace, a former US ambassador to the UN, called for assets linked to the Qatari state and royal family to be frozen 'until the Qataris turn over the worst of the worst terror leaders in the world'.

Wallace, who now runs the US-based Counter Extremism Project, also called for the UK’s diplomatic ties with Doha to be suspended if the regime fails to apprehend Haniyeh and hand him over to American or Israeli authorities."

"Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Executive Director David Ibsen says Turkey’s alliance with Hamas, runs fervently counter to NATO ally, the United States, and the terror group’s tight alliance with Doha. 'Since Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip and drove out the Palestinian Authority in 2007, Qatar and Turkey have emerged as Hamas’s primary diplomatic backers. Qatar is home to both the current leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, and the former leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal,' he explained. 'Qatar provides Hamas with freedom of movement and allows it to carry out its activities undisturbed.'"

"Over the last year, four United Nations agencies have partnered with and accepted $7 million from the terrorism-affiliated NGO Qatar Charity. According to the Counter Extremism Project (that maintains databases on extremist groups, their ideology, leaders, history, financing, violent activities, tactics, and rhetoric), the Qatar Charity is a member charity of the Union of Good network."

CEP research referenced: "A lawsuit filed in U.S. federal court in June 2020 alleged Qatar provided funding to Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas through three Qatari financial institutions, the Qatar Charity, Masraf Al Rayan (Al Rayan Bank), and Qatar National Bank."
