Salam Fayyad on Qatar: from Wikileaks

It is hilarious when small US puppets, like this Salam Fayyad, thinks that they can sway US policies.  "PA Prime Minister Fayyad, meeting with Under Secretary of the Treasury Stuart Levey on August 10 in Jerusalem, said that he was extremely worried about Qatar and its continued support for HAMAS and other Islamist organizations in the West Bank and Gaza. ""Qatar is a very lousy country, in every possible way,"" he said, claiming that they provide ""more support to fundamentalists than Kuwait or Saudi Arabia."" Fayyad said that there was lots of money coming into the region from Qatar. Qatar's support for these organizations ""on camera in the Security Council"" (a reference to Qatar's recent sponsorship of a Council statement that Ramallah saw as one-sided) should, he suggested, be a strong indication of where their financial support is going. He added that Qatar is using charitable organizations to move funds to Gaza. ""Qatar is willfully bad on money,"" Fayyad said, and he encouraged the USG ""to make life difficult for Qatari banks in the U.S.""" (thanks Shadi)
