The Israeli attack on Qatar’s capital, Doha, during a meeting of Hamas leaders serves as a lesson for the Muslim Ummah or a warning from global imperialism.

It is surprising that the attack on Qatar equipped with modern defense systems was permitted by the same American President Trump who had received trillions of dollars in gifts from Qatari rulers just a few months earlier and proudly announced that the United States and Qatar are friends and partners. However, this partnership turned out to be nothing more than an empty slogan. Despite the installation of the American defense systems Patriot PAC-3, NASAMS-2, Britain’s Rapier, Germany’s Roland, and the THAAD air system in Qatar, which were considered invincible, the failure of Qatar’s advanced air defense system against Israel raises questions. Was this merely a technical failure or something else? Why did the air defense system, which was activated during Iranian attacks, remained silent during the Israeli assault? According to foreign media reports, approximately 15 Israeli aircraft flew over Doha and conducted ten attacks.

This is not the first occurrence; the history of the Muslim world is filled with instances where rulers squandered their resources at the feet of the West and bought security from them, only to end up deceived and betrayed. Qatar, which has served as a key mediator in the ongoing war for the past 23 months, has seen trust in America shaken by the Israeli attacks.........
