A top Qatari official who served as ambassador to the United States has repeatedly praised slain Hamas leaders as "martyrs," called on the terror group to pursue "resistance until victory," and denounced Israel as the "enemy of humanity."
Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al-Kawari—Qatar's state minister who bears the cabinet-level rank of deputy prime minister—served as the Gulf state's ambassador to the United States, France, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization before assuming his current position. He has repeatedly used his X account to glorify Hamas and vilify Israel.
Days after Israel assassinated former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in July 2024, Al-Kawari wrote on X that "Qatar embraces the martyr Ismail Haniyeh as a fighter" and praised Qatar for "embracing the oppressed and supporting the wronged." Haniyeh had been living in Qatar before his death.
"Whoever saw or knew the late Haniyeh knew him to be a man of pure faith, simple and approachable, a leader who was close to the people, kind-hearted, and with a smile of contentment that never left his face, even in the darkest of circumstances," the deputy prime minister continued.
