CEP CALLS ON QATAR ECONOMIC FORUM PARTICIPANTS TO WITHDRAW FROM CONFERENCE
TODAY


(New York, N.Y.) – The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) today calls on leading
U.S. and international companies participating in the three-day
“Bloomberg-powered”Qatar Economic Forum <[link removed]>
starting today to withdraw their participation even at this late stage. They
are directly facilitating Qatar’s long-standing endeavors to whitewash its
continuing support for Hamas.



CEP CEO Ambassador Mark Wallace said: “It is plain wrong for anybody to
continue whitewashing the Al-Thani regime by lending their credibility to
Qatar-hosted international conferences. Seven months after the horrific
atrocities of October 7, 2023, the world is now highly cognizant of Qatar’s
long and ongoing status as the primary patron to Hamas, the terrorist group
responsible for that massacre.

“Even today, Qatar seeks to prop up Hamas in maintaining its grip over Gaza,
thus ensuring its ability to plan and perpetrate future acts of barbarism
against Israel, as they have openly and repeatedly threatened, while
concomitantly prolonging the suffering of ordinary Palestinians who live there.



“Neither CEP, nor increasing segments of the American public and the U.S.
Congress, are fooled by Qatar’s unabashed efforts to co-opt Western
interests—including through the hosting of lavish self-promoting international
conferences that attract global C-Suiters—and exonerate its own malfeasance.”



CEP call on all participants who remain scheduled to speak
<[link removed]> at the Qatar Economic
Forum—including Brookfield Asset Management CEO Bruce Flett, Citadel CEO
Kenenth C. Griffin, Edlridge Industries CEO Todd Boehly, Franklin Templeton CEO
Jenny Johnson, HSBC Group Chief Executive Noel Quinn, RedBird Capital Partners
Managing Partner Gerry Cardinale, and Schneider Electric Executive VP Manish
Pant—to refrain from participating in all Qatar-sponsored conferences, until
Qatar arrests the Hamas leaders it currently protects, including Haniyeh,
resident in Qatar for remand into U.S. or Israeli custody; uses the leverage
created by the approximately $2 billion dollarsdisbursed
<[link removed]> by Qatar to Hamas to ensure the
immediate release of every single hostage unharmed; and, demonstrates its
sustained commitment to sanctions enforcement and counterterrorism.
