Carlson Says He’ll Buy Home in Doha After Grilling Qatar’s Top Diplomat on Hamas Ties

Overview

• Interviewing Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Doha Forum, Tucker Carlson denied taking Qatari money and announced plans to purchase property in the city.
• The Qatari foreign minister said Hamas officials were hosted in Doha at the request of the United States plus Israel to enable cease-fires, hostage negotiations and humanitarian access.
• He rejected claims that Qatar finances Hamas, describing payments as humanitarian support for Gazans carried out transparently with U.S. visibility and Israeli coordination.
• He called Israel’s October strike on Doha’s mediation facilities unprecedented and unethical, said President Trump privately expressed frustration, and disputed reports that Trump approved the attack.
• He said Qatar will continue humanitarian aid to Palestinians but will not fund reconstruction for destruction attributed to Israel, as U.S.–Qatar relations face renewed scrutiny in Congress.
