These are a few words stated by the late Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in a press conference he had with US President Donald Trump in late 2017, where he stated at the time that what is important in the issue of the blockade of Qatar is that "we have stopped military action."
And by that he meant the plan that was prepared to be implemented by the four blockading countries, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, after the blockade was announced on Qatar on the fifth of June of the same year.
Immortal words
His words brought him into the hearts of Qataris from the widest gates, for his great role in sparing not only Qatar, but the whole Gulf as a disaster. Even the most pessimists in the region did not imagine that a disastrous thing like that could be planned by the countries of the region themselves.
At other times, the Qataris remembered his words while following the various investigative programs broadcast by Al-Jazeera, the latest of which was the investigative investigation program "Distance Zero," which was titled "Sita Messages", which was covered in its first part a few days ago to the manner in which a military invasion scenario was being prepared. For Qatar.
And within the program came what was explained by a researcher specializing in digital humanities Mark Jones that the pretext for the Gulf crisis began with piracy of Qatar TV network, spreading false news, and launching thousands of fake accounts on Twitter and Facebook to create fake public opinion in support of the war.
Zero distance and country memory
The program revitalized the Qatari people's memory of the catastrophic scenario that had it not been for God, and the efforts of the late Emir, the Gulf would have been in an unimaginable situation.
While the Qatari public opinion is preoccupied with the details of what was mentioned in the program, the tragic news comes yesterday, Tuesday, of the death of the Emir of humanity, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad, the Emir who, despite his old age and ill health, was keen to reunite the Gulf people, and traveled to various capitals in order to calm the situation and resolve the crisis created by the blockading countries.
This came at a time when the region was in need of any new crises, and this was appreciated and cherished by Qatar, the government and the people.
Balance factor
The news of the death of Prince Sabah came at a time when the Gulf needed a balance factor and a voice of wisdom, and this came together in the person of the late Emir, and his efforts were clear, and he often stated that it was no longer acceptable or possible for the continuation of the disagreement between the brothers in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, because it weakened the capabilities of the Council He threatened his achievements.
It is not surprising that the Qataris give the government and people to mention the virtues and exploits of the late Emir through all means of communication and media, as he was for them as the reassuring and wise factor in an unprecedented crisis for Qatar and the Gulf.
And it became in the Qatari conscience that it is not easy to fill the vacuum that it created, and accordingly many observers of the Gulf crisis see that there are no indications on the horizon pointing to an imminent end to it, which means that the Gulf will continue to remain on a hot plate, and no one knows when it will cool down or decrease. Its temperature.
