So yellow press like.

[@salmanalthani7753]

What terrorism is Qatar exactly involved in I'm curious about the blockade.. becuse it was Saudi UAE and Egypt directly involved in 911 and a law suit going against them in NYC at the moment , however Qatar isn't involved in that.. Al Qaeda was a Saudi invention in the 1970's to fight off Soviets in Afghanistan and plan attacks all over the world, New York, Paris, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Somalia, Libya killing and wounding many.. it's UAE threw Egypt sending planes, money, tanks, artillery, guns to Haftar whom already forcibly took over land controlled by UN backed elected Libyan President and is now threating to take over Tripoli. Not Qatar. We can also find UAE soldiers the first to be involved in Libya. if we look at Somalia Land, Somali officials confiscated a UAE plane with hundrands of millions aiming to destabilize the horn if Africa. Look what's going on in Yemen, UAE recruiting child soldiers by lying to them telling them they will work as cleaners. Many of those kids untrained have died. What has Qatar done to the UAE other than sell Gas so cheap threw the Dolphin gas pipe that they don't even make a profit from it. That Gas pipe is the Gas running Dubai even after the blockade happened Qatar refused to stop the electricity in Dubai.

The interviewer asked in 2003, Qatar issue the election, her reply was because other countries prevent hers from election. We all know that Kuwait is semi democratic and have election. Doesn't that tell anyone she's lying? She should be glad he didnt push her too hard otherwise she would kneel and beg for mercy.

[@arnabsharma4134]

@fact check, lemme give you a fact check. Kuwait, Qatar and Oman are allies. The GCC however comprises the gulf countries technically, bug is run supremely by ksa and uae. Therefore when she says to please her neighbors, she's not wrong. Kuwait is mediating the blockade issue currently to no updates though. Besides, Kuwait doesn't nave the clout Saudi and uae have in the region. Whether Kuwait is semi democratic or not is pretty irrelevant.

[@whithneyj4412]

It is either terrorism or it is not. The host is blunt and questioned with facts, however, the guests position would not allow her own up to them. Qatar supports terrorism and could care less about human rights. Simple!

All of the hatred comments towards HE Lolwah Al-Khater, are just jealous of her and her confidence. She's also a great speaker. When Tim asks her questions, she wants to explain her points, but he keeps cutting her off. Tim is a rude, and aggressive interviewer. He doesn't even give her a chance to speak, because he knows she will give accurate information that will prove him wrong. I dont even think he should be an interviewer. Actually, in his interviews, he always tries to bring out the bad things in countries. There is also a cut-off scene, where Tim got angry, you may not believe me, but I don't care. HE Lolwah Al-Khater, also has very accurate information and facts. HE Lolwah Al-Khater, is a very strong, and intelligent woman. Her niece, Fatima Al-Khater.
