This is CBSI in the world.

I'm John Batchel.

I welcome Cliff May, the founder and president of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies,

writing most recently about Qatar in the news because of the idea of decision to attack a residence in Doha, the capital of Qatar, said to contain

several of the leadership in Hamas that ordered the attack in October and continues to refuse to

negotiate over the hostages. The report is there was a miss.

They did not get the leadership.

They got secondaries.

The leadership is not much to be seen these days on what we can presume to be to be, to handle it at a later date.

But Dohaas continues to protest and make remarks about the Israeli decision.

Cliff, a very good evening to you.

We need to identify Doha in particular, but Althani, the man who rules 350,000 Qataris,

as people who have entertained and welcomed and tolerated cutthroats for decades, especially Hamas-type, but before that the Taliban.

What is in it for Al-Thani? What is it for Qatar to allow killers into their country

and set them up with luxury digs.

Good evening to you.

Good evening to you.

Well, I actually think that there's an ideological component.

A couple of things to understand.

What you have is a family, a tribe.

They, of course, consider themselves a royal family in this peninsula that's adjacent to Saudi Arabia.

As you say, there's fewer than 350,000 Qatari citizens.
