Tucker Carlson at the Doha Forum
Not merely an invitee, but given pride of place.
Qatar is the main foreign backer of Hamas. Hamas leaders live in luxury in Doha. Qatar has for years supplied Hamas with money, weapons, and diplomatic support. And now, Tucker Carlson is a featured guest at this year’s Doha Forum: “Tucker Carlson to headline Qatar’s Doha Forum, triggering pro-Israel backlash,” Jerusalem Post, December 5, 2025:
According to the event agenda and parallel reporting by US media outlet Mediaite, Carlson is scheduled to interview Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, on stage, while Patel appears in his capacity as co-founder and CEO of the Tucker Carlson Network.
Tucker Carlson is not merely an invitee, but has been given pride of place, for it is he who will be interviewing the man who is second only to the emir, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, that is, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. Do you think they will discuss the “genocide” in Gaza? Or how “it is time to stop the killing and create a Palestinian state that will live “side by side, in peace and security, with its Israeli neighbor.” Yes to the first, yes to the second.
They will share the program with an unusually eclectic roster that includes former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump Jr., Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, senior European and Gulf officials, and high-profile journalists such as CNN’s Christiane Amanpour and editors from outlets including The Guardian and Foreign Policy….
I wonder what the honoraria will be for these guests, who came such a long way to be with so many well-pleased pleasers of the Al-Thani family. For Hillary Clinton, I’d guess a few hundred thousand dollars. For Donald Trump, Jr. the take should be about the same. No need to pay Bill Gates; he is not coming to Qatar for the money. Ever since his daughter married an Egyptian Muslim, Nayel Nassar, in a Muslim ceremony, his interest in the Muslim world has increased. Christiane Amanpour is the television journalist who has displayed her anti-Israel animus for decades; she will be most welcome in Qatar. CNN’s current policies would not allow her to accept a fat honorarium, but perhaps the Qataris will find another way to express to this Old Fish (Amanpour is an alumna of New Hall School in Chelmsford, England, where two of my closest relatives went) their admiration and esteem. Something in the untraceable cryptocurrency line might be just the ticket. Perhaps some investigative reporter could ferret out just how much Qatari money was doled out to some, though not all, of the Doha Forum participants. Keep in mind the huge bribes Qatar paid to soccer officials in order to be able to host the 2022 World Cup. Bribery is a way of life, after all, for the fabulously wealthy Arab oil states, and that includes the Qatari government.
In June, Loomer circulated what she said were Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filings, arguing that Qatar’s US embassy paid more than $200,000 for an earlier Carlson interview with the Qatari prime minister about the region and the war with Iran, and calling the program a “paid propaganda piece.” That claim, which conservative Jewish site 5 Towns Central reported on, has not been independently verified.

begs to differ. You just can’t make this shit up!
