The secret of a small country called Qatar

All the information indicated that the Arab Economic Summit held in Beirut would be a failure, after most Arab leaders apologized for their presence. The first row was confined to the heads of the Republics of Somalia and Mauritania. But Qatar's announcement on the eve of the summit of the participation of Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani was a surprise to the friend and enemy, and was an artificial respiration that was urgently needed to survive. The Emir of Qatar was the star of the summit, although his attendance lasted only hours.

It is not the first time that Qatar has shown outstanding performance in political action. The siege imposed on it more than a year and a half ago, and the declaration of war against it by a number of countries surrounding it, provided an opportunity to highlight this distinction more clearly than any calculations related to the joint Arab action or the GCC system that Doha was keen on. Sometimes to follow the directions of the brothers, especially Saudi Arabia, although not convinced by them.

Qatar has not hostile to any of the countries that boycotted it, and it is still until this moment despite all the abuses it has suffered and exceeded all the political and moral red lines, calls to sit at the table to resolve the crisis and the relationship continues to the Gulf Cooperation Council, although it has become a tool of Muhammad bin Salman and Followed by Mohammed bin Zayed. It did not stop, and faced the attempts of isolation, which tried to impose by the embargoed countries more actively and initiative and communication.

Even the small and poor countries that have succumbed to the pressure of the embargo countries and boycotted Qatar to increase the number of boycotting countries, did not exchange Doha hostility, and welcomed their return and restore the relationship with them. The humanitarian initiatives that Qatar continues after the blockade are more frequent. There is almost no humanitarian disaster in any part of the world except to provide urgent relief assistance, especially to poor countries that are exposed to destructive natural phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanoes such as Indonesia and Thailand.

The storm of the Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Syria and Jordan ended soon, until Qatar announced emergency relief of 50 million dollars for the relief of displaced people affected by the storm. A campaign was organized to raise popular and media donations to help displaced Syrians. Although one of the accusations against Qatar is that it is an ally of Iran, which is a strategic ally of the Syrian regime, but its position on the Syrian crisis is still the same as the boycott. As for Qatar's positions towards the Palestinian people, it has become a remarkable example of the world, and the Palestinian Authority is the way to block the way of Qatari financial grants to narrow Gaza and its people.

There is a secret in this small country and population, a secret not to be made by the financial surplus that God gave to Qatar and its people. Other countries close to Qatar have been blessed by Qatar, but their performance has flared up, a volatile policy, contradictory positions, a personal relationship with others, and a political adolescence involving the country. The calm mind, clear policy, deliberate steps and performance that fit principles and interests are not worth millions of dollars, and oil and gas fields do not affect them.
