CEP CALLS FOR BOYCOTT OF QATARI HOTELS TO FORCE SURRENDER OF HAMAS LEADERSHIP


(New York, N.Y.) — Counter Extremism Project (CEP) Chief Executive Officer
Ambassador Mark D. Wallace and CEP President Frances F. Townsend are calling on
all responsible parties in the United Kingdom to set aside Qatar’s vast
holdings until Qatar detains Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Meshaal, and other Hamas
leaders responsible for the October 7 massacre in Israel and ensures the safe
return of all hostages.



Qatar has more than $40 billion
<[link removed]>
in UK assets and $10 billion in property estates at 4,000 different UK sites,
including luxury mansions and hotels. The Gulf state is the 10th largest
landowner in Britain, owning more British property than the King of England. As
disclosed two days ago, London is alsohome to
<[link removed]>
former Hamas leader Muhammad Qassem Sawalha.



Ambassador Wallace and former U.S. Homeland Security Advisor Townsend stated:



“Qatar benefits from a vast amount of wealth in the UK—and the return on these
investments goes straight into Hamas’s pocket. Nobody with a semblance of
ethical understanding should allow for the repatriation of such funds while
Hamas’s leadership sits in luxury in Doha in the wake of their slaughter of
innocents. Rather than line the pockets of terrorists, revenue from these
holdings must be placed in segregated escrow until Qatar’s leadership remands
Ismail Haniyeh and closes Hamas’s office in Doha.”



The events following October 7 show Qatar
<[link removed]> to
be complicit in the harboring of terrorists and the promotion of their
activities:



Ismail Haniyeh <[link removed]>
planned andcelebrated
<[link removed]>
the Israeli massacre from his office in Doha, as did former Hamas leader and
Haniyeh’s predecessor,Khaled Meshaal
<[link removed]>.

* Mere hours after the slaughter, Qatar’s foreign ministry claimed
<[link removed]>
to “hold Israel solely responsible for the ongoing escalation [i.e. the
massacre of Israeli women and children by Hamas] due to its ongoing violations.”


* On October 11, Haniyeh called for supporters around the world to join Hamas
in its violent barbarism. Thevideo address
<[link removed]>
was aired on the Qatari-owned and controlled network, Al Jazeera.


* On October 12, Meshaal echoed
<[link removed]>
Haniyeh’s address from Qatar, calling for an October 13 “Day of Rage.”


* On October 14, Qatar hosted a meeting
<[link removed]>
between Haniyeh and Iran’s foreign minister, who congratulated Haniyeh on his
successful execution of thousands of innocent Israelis.


* Qatar hosted this meeting on the same day that it blatantly lied
<[link removed]>
to reporters about Haniyeh’s presence in the country.


* On October 16, the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
refused <[link removed]>
<[link removed]>to close Hamas’ political office
or detain any senior Hamas figures.


* On October 19 while in Qatar, Meshaal flatly refused
<[link removed]>
<[link removed]>to acknowledge any harm
inflicted upon Israeli civilians, referring to the massacre as “an ingenious
moment.”
CEP called <[link removed]> on Qatar
to arrest Hamas leadership in 2017. They have refused to do so, instead
financing the terrorist organization since at least 2018 to the tune of $360 to
$480 million annually.



CEP has also demanded
<[link removed]>
that Qatar and the Al Thani Royal Family detain Haniyeh and other Doha-based
Hamas leadership. They have refused. CEP thencalled
<[link removed]>
for a global Qatar asset freeze until and unless Doha complies. They have not
responded. On Friday, CEP followed up with a call toboycott
<[link removed]>
Qatari hotels worldwide.



CEP now calls on all UK-based assets to suspend the repatriation of revenues
to Qatar. Qatar’s vast holdings in the UK include:

* Harrods
* Canary Wharf Group
* The Ritz Hotel
* The Savoy Hotel
* The Shard
* The Chelsea Barracks
Any individual or entity that allows this kind of wealth to be repatriated to
Qatar should face legal and moral consequences for returning funds to a safe
haven for pereptrators of one of the most heinous acts of barbarism in living
memory.
