"So, Saudi Arabia is to become a major non-NATO ally, and Qatar is a protectorate for which we will go to war if necessary. The problem is that Saudi Arabia's main enemy apart from Iran is Qatar. Qatar's main enemy is Saudi Arabia, which they would love to overthrow through terror groups. The two countries have long despised each other. Therefore, we are promising to defend both. It all seems so bizarre."
"After Trump signed an executive order stating that it is the policy of the United States to guarantee the security and territorial integrity of the State of Qatar against external attack, and that the United States shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States earlier this year, Levin counted himself among the many conservatives outraged by the pledge."
Mark Levin expressed bafflement over President Donald Trump's close relationships with Qatar and Saudi Arabia after Trump designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally and pledged to guarantee Qatar's security. Levin noted that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are primary enemies, accusing Qatar of supporting terror groups and seeking to undermine Saudi influence. Levin questioned the logic of promising to defend both adversaries simultaneously. Levin warned that protecting Qatar could entangle the United States in conflict with Israel if Hamas leaders in Qatar were targeted. Levin suggested conditioning any military defense on Qatar handing over Hamas leaders and ending terrorist funding.
