Text & Video: The Fawning Over Qatar’s Ambassador in Lebanon and the Hollow Arab Leaders’ Statements Condemning Israel’s Strike in Doha Against Hamas Terror Chiefs Elias Bejjani/September 10/2025
The gravest danger facing the Middle East today—its Arab states in general and Lebanon in particular—is the deliberate, hypocritical blindness to the true existential threat: the expansionist project of Iran’s clerical regime. Iran spreads its influence directly through the Revolutionary Guard and Quds Force, and indirectly through its sectarian proxy militias, in full coordination with the Muslim Brotherhood network financed and run by Qatar and Erdoğan’s Turkey. At the forefront of this deadly alliance stands Hamas, which turned Gaza into a bloody prison and a jihadist base that threatens Palestinians and the entire region.
The Stark Reality
*In Lebanon, Hezbollah hijacked the state and turned it into an Iranian colony.
*In Iraq, the Popular Mobilization Forces erased sovereignty and placed strategic decisions in Tehran’s hands.
*In Syria, the Assad regime—long an enemy of Arabs and a loyal Iranian tool—collapsed. Israel played a major role in striking and dismantling it both militarily and politically.
*In Yemen, the Houthis blackmail the Gulf with missiles and drones, all in service of Iran.
*In Gaza, Hamas surrendered the strip to Iran, turning it into a doomed battlefield against Israel.
Yet despite this catastrophic landscape, some Arabs persist in portraying Israel as their existential enemy. But Israel has not occupied their capitals nor dismantled their institutions—while Iran has destroyed Lebanon and four Arab republics and stripped them of sovereignty. The undeniable truth is this: the existential threat comes from Iran and its proxies, alongside the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas—not from Israel.
Hamas: The Brotherhood’s Terror Arm
Hamas is nothing more than a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, designated as a terrorist organization in most Arab countries. Nevertheless, yesterday we witnessed a hysterical wave of Arab statements condemning Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Doha. These populist outbursts are hollow and meaningless, nothing but a cheap show that recalls the empty propaganda of Egypt’s Ahmed Said, Hamas’s Abu Ubaida, and Iraq’s “Comical Ali” Muhammad al-Sahhaf. Empty words, devoid of substance, exposing the impotence of regimes that prefer slogans to action.
Israel Is Not the Enemy—Iran Is
The Arab states issuing condemnations know very well that Israel is not their existential threat. Their true enemy is Iran’s expansionist regime, which has already swallowed five states: Lebanon, Syria (before Assad’s fall), Iraq, Yemen, and Gaza through Hamas. Those who pretend otherwise are willfully blind to the reality of Wilayat al-Faqih and its mercenaries tearing apart their nations—with political Islam, funded and orchestrated by Qatar and Turkey, as well political Sunni and Shiite extremism.
The Direct Consequence of Hamas’s Crimes
What the region suffers today is a direct result of Hamas’s terrorist assaults on Israel. Whoever plants terror will reap only fire and destruction. Hamas brought calamity upon Gaza, dragged the region into endless wars, and put the entire Middle East on the global frontline.
Israel Lifted the Iranian Threat from You Arab countries
Those who issue shrill, emotional condemnations of Israel should remember: it was Israel that dismantled Assad’s regime, their long-time enemy and Iran’s Syrian proxy. It was Israel that struck Hezbollah in Lebanon, weakened Hamas in Gaza, and contained the Iranian threat that terrifies their capitals night and day. Instead of lamentations and hollow denunciations, they should admit Israel is doing what they themselves were too weak—or too cowardly—to do.
Qatar and Turkey: Sponsors of Terror
The Doha operation once again exposed Qatar as the banker and sponsor of Islamist terrorism, in league with Erdoğan’s Turkey, which deploys the Muslim Brotherhood across dozens of Arab, European, and Latin American states. Those who cheer Qatar and Erdoğan today are either blind, ignorant, or complicit in the terror project.
Greater Israel: A Reality, Not a Scarecrow
As former minister Yusuf Salameh wrote today in a statement published on my web site, “Greater Israel” is not the mythical land “from the Nile to the Euphrates.” It is a sphere of influence extending from Lebanon through Syria, Doha, and Yemen, all the way to Iran—made real by Israel’s unmatched military and intelligence reach, freely crossing Arab skies without deterrence. The wise see “Greater Israel” as an undeniable reality; the foolish repeat it as an empty scarecrow.
The Right to Pursue Terrorists Anywhere
The pursuit of Hamas leaders, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, Hezbollah, the Iraqi PMF, all Jihadist organizations and Iran’s many terrorist armed proxies is a legitimate right everywhere in the world. Terrorism knows no borders, and every state has the right to uproot it wherever it exists.
Empty Statements and Hollow Heroics
Those who flattered Qatar’s ambassador in Lebanon, or who issued hollow statements of “condemnation,” are nothing but hypocrites. Their words are shallow and meaningless, ignoring the Iranian monster and political Islam that threaten their very survival.
In the end, only by reining in the Iranian beast can Arab states understand their inevitable enemy. If Arab rulers and peoples fought wars with the same passion they write empty statements and poetic slogans, they would dominate the world today. Instead, they remain blind, submissive, and trapped in cardboard heroics and parroting rhetoric.
