Media Figures In Qatar Condemn U.S. Attack On Iran's Nuclear Facilities, Vilify President Donald Trump: He Is A Brazen Liar Who Has Revealed His Ugly Face
The June 22, 2025 U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear facilities sparked furious responses from journalists and public opinion shapers in Qatar, who harshly condemned the U.S. and its President, Donald Trump. In addition to a statement by Qatar's foreign ministry that expressed "regret" over "the deterioration of the situation " and warned of "catastrophic consequences at both the regional and international levels,"[1] Al-Jazeera presenters and columnists for Qatar's government papers took to X to slam the U.S. and its president, calling Trump a "brazen liar," "the leader of a modern crusade," and a "war criminal" who has "revealed his ugly face" and is " looking for false personal glory." They also described the Americans as "infidels" and "plotters" seeking to "ignite wars and destroy peoples." Retired Qatari general Mubarak Al-Khayareen focused his invective on Israel, writing after the U.S. attack that, while "there is [some] benefit in the U.S. being strong alongside Russia and China, in order to maintain the global balance [of power]," Israel "must be destroyed and eliminated and must disappear." It should be noted that Qatari journalists have been expressing support for Iran since the start of the Israel-Iran war.[2] The following are some of the responses posted by media figures in Qatar slamming the U.S. and Trump for the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Al-Jazeera Presenter: President Trump Is A Brazen Liar; The U.S. Is A Plague In a series of X posts on June 22, following the U.S. strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, Al-Jazeera presenter Hayat Al-Yamani cursed the U.S. and President Trump, accusing them of lies and deceit. She wrote: "Lie, Trump, lie again and again, and then boast about being a brazen liar." In another post, she wrote: "The U.S. is the plague, and the plague is the U.S." One of Al-Yamani's posts In a third post she added: "Every resident of that despicable part of the world called America should feel ashamed of his president's and his leaders' involvement in a disgraceful lie and [of the fact that] they engaged in diplomacy through hollow negotiations aimed at buying time and carrying out a brazen act of deception. Who will ever want to sit at the negotiating table again with [this] deceitful negotiator?" [3] Another post by Al-Yamani Al-Jazeera Presenter Characterizes Americans As Infidel Plotters Al-Jazeera presenter Mustafa Ashour posted a Quranic verse (8:30): " The unbelievers plotted to imprison, murder or expel you [O Muhammad]. They plot, but Allah too plots and Allah is the best of plotters."[4] Mustafa Ashour's post Columnist For Qatari Government Daily: Trump Is Leading A Modern Crusade; The Americans Are Manufacturers Of Chaos And Engineers Of Destruction Jordanian journalist Ihsan Al-Faqih, a columnist for the Qatari government daily Al-Sharq and the Qatari-owned London-based daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi, quoted statements made by President Trump and responded to them: "'There's no military in the world that could have done what we did' – This is not the president of a country [talking], but the leader of a modern crusade boasting about destroying facilities and the sovereignty of [other] countries. He speaks about bombing a country with millions of people as if it were an ant crushed under his boot, and as if Iran were nothing more than a stage for flexing muscles ahead of elections... 'What we did, nobody else could do' – That's true, Trump. No one ignites wars and destroys peoples like you do. From Iraq to Afghanistan, from Palestine to Iran, you are manufacturers of chaos and engineers of destruction. Your history is not full of heroic deeds, but full of open graves.'[5] Qatari Columnist: Trump Is A National Disgrace; He Has Revealed His Ugly Face Abdullah Al-Amadi, a columnist for the Qatari government daily Al-Sharq, shared photos of U.S. President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and wrote in English under the hashtags "Trump Is a National Disgrace" and "Trump Is War Criminal": "Trump showed his ugly face to the world & contradicted American public opinion by strongly supporting the war criminal Netanyahu & his racist occupation regime, by entering the war against Iran, claiming that it is the largest country supporting terrorism, while Israhell is the largest gathering of terrorists & racists in the world. He is proving to the world that he is looking for false personal glory, even at the expense of the security of his people, who will become a target. Trump is no different from Netanyahu, both are two sides of the same coin."[6] Abdullah Al-Amadi's post Retired Qatari General: Israel Must Be Destroyed And Eliminated Retired Qatari general Mubarak Al-Khayareen, wrote on his X account: "There is [some] benefit in the U.S. being strong alongside Russia and China, in order to maintain the global balance [of power], but Israel must be destroyed and eliminated and must disappear. This should be a strategic Arab doctrine. This reminds [us] of the words of [Hamas founder] Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who said that Israel had been built on a foundation of injustice and oppression, and that any entity founded on injustice and oppression is destined to perish. [Operation] Al-Aqsa Flood [i.e., Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel showed us that the Israelis have no connection to the land and that they admit they are occupying the land of others and that they are transient."[7]

Families of Israeli captives in Gaza demand Dermer's resignation from negotiation team
Occupied Quds – Saba: On Tuesday evening, the Israeli captive families' association demanded that Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer resign from his position as head of the negotiation team, accusing him of failing to secure a deal for the release of their loved ones nearly 100 days after his appointment. According to Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper, Dermer is viewed as a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom the opposition and captive families accuse of prolonging the war to appease the far-right faction of his government, prioritizing his personal political interests—particularly remaining in power. In a letter sent to Dermer and posted on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, the captive families' association stated: "When you were appointed, we were promised you would lead a real breakthrough." They added: "But not only has not a single captive been released, it now seems you are leading efforts to undermine any potential deal that could bring all the captives home and end the war." The letter continued: "It is only right that you take responsibility and do what is necessary—hand over the keys, return the mandate given to you, and make way for someone who can achieve the victory that includes the return of all 58 captives." The Zionist regime estimates that 58 Israeli captives remain in Gaza, 20 of whom are believed to be alive, while over 10,100 Palestinian prisoners endure torture, starvation, and medical neglect in Israeli jails, leading to the deaths of dozens, according to Palestinian and Zionist human rights reports. The families further stated: "This is a complete failure. A hundred days of utter failure. A hundred days of the collapse of negotiation strategy under your leadership." They emphasized: "We need a dedicated negotiation team leader who prioritizes the captives above all else, not someone who acts based on other considerations."

Sisi to visit Saudi Arabia for talks on Arab plan for Gaza
ALBAWABA- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi is set to travel to Riyadh on Thursday to discuss a proposed Arab plan for Gaza, according to security sources cited by the London-based newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi. Also Read Hamas to release 6 Israeli prisoners, hand over 4 bodies The visit comes as Arab nations seek an alternative to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to displace the Palestinian people and place Gaza under American control. Leaders from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, and Qatar are expected to review the Arab plan during discussions in Riyadh before formally presenting it at an emergency Arab summit in Cairo on March 4. A separate high-level meeting involving Jordan, the UAE, and Qatar is also anticipated in Saudi Arabia on Friday, though sources say the date is yet to be finalized. The Arab states have expressed strong opposition to Trump's plan, which reportedly includes the forced displacement of Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt and the transformation of Gaza into a luxury tourist hub, dubbed the "Riviera of the Middle East." Both Cairo and Amman swiftly rejected the proposal, with regional leaders warning that such a move would lead to serious instability. Saudi Arabia is now spearheading efforts to counter Trump's plan and push forward an Arab-led solution for Gaza's reconstruction.
