“a series of normalization deals with Israel, with Qatar, Sudan and others potentially on the way.”
Qatar?
Excuse me, but that would have huge implications for the support they give to the Muslim Brotherhood, and its local affiliate, Hamas.
That would bring Qatar in from the cold, and back into the fold with the other Gulf Cooperation Council countries - and mark a Strategic success for the Trump Administration’s drive to cut off ideological and financial support for islamist terrorist movements.
Qatar, and/or Saudi Arabia, would be some truly seismic shifts in the region.
Cork-popping time.
It would.
Qatar is the worst basket of snakes in the Islamic world, in part because it has so much money, but also it's a small place with Iran just a few sea miles and air miles away. They'll do anything, anytime, as long as the money's right and someone else can be blamed.
