Democrats - Qatar - Terrorists. CHAIN OF COMMAND - Israel has exactly the same problem now that Syria had.
This are the original demands of Saudi Arabia to lift the blockade of Qatar:

- Close Al-Jazeera channel.
Cutting diplomatic relations with Iran and expelling any element of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard present on its territory, and refraining from practicing any commercial activity that conflicts with US sanctions on Tehran.
Close the Turkish military base in Qatar and stop any military cooperation with Ankara.
Cutting Qatar's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and other groups, including Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State "ISIS".
Qatar's refusal to naturalize citizens of Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, and to expel those who had previously naturalized them, as part of its commitment not to interfere in the internal affairs of these countries.
- Qatar extradites all persons wanted by the four countries on terrorism charges.
Ceasing any support for any entity designated by the United States as a terrorist entity.

“In Saudi Arabia there are concerns about Trump’s successor being harsher toward Riyadh due to various issues from the Khashoggi murder to the imprisonment of human rights activists and the unresolved Yemeni conflict,” Cafiero said, adding, “Within this context, the Saudis taking steps to demonstrate their commitment to re-normalization of relations with Doha can send a message to Biden’s administration that could earn the leadership in Riyadh some goodwill with the 46th American president and those in his inner circle.”

Washington-based Arab diplomatic sources say Qatar is seeking access to the White House advisers so as to try to influence the Biden administration’s policies in the Middle East.
According to these sources, who spoke to The Arab Weekly on condition of anonymity, Qatar wants to convince Washington to task it with regional missions allowing Doha to play the role of mediator and so project wider influence in the Middle East.
Qatar, according to the sources, wants to be recognised as an intermediary with Islamist groups in the region, a self-serving role which it lost during the tenure of the former administration of President Donald Trump.
Arab affairs analysts previously indicated that Qataris are currently trying to politically exploit the divergences between the Biden administration and Saudi Arabia.
By doing so, Qatar hopes to appear as the only reliable ally of the US in the Middle East [Of cause this is true. Biden has no other real ally], especially in light of uncertainty about future relations between the Biden administration and countries such as Egypt and Turkey. In recent months, this uncertainty, experts say, has been further increased by the Democratic administration’s reluctance to start dialogue with key countries in the Middle East.
Doha does not hide its desire to play the role of mediator between the United States and Islamist groups in the region, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood and its various offshoots and leaders, who have welcomed the arrival of Democrats to the White House and expressed their desire to restore strong relations with Washington, as was the case during the presidency of former President Barack Obama.
The Obama administration had endeavoured to integrate the Muslim Brotherhood into the transformations brought about the so-called Arab Spring, with Qatar playing a key role in this strategy before the American enthusiasm for regime change in the Middle East dwindled.
Now, it appears that Doha is assembling a lobby of advisers around Biden with the aim of boosting its chances of playing a role of mediator between Washington and Tehran, in a way that allows the Islamic Republic to join the nuclear negotiations without preconditions, even though Tehran has been adamant about the lifting of all US sanctions before any talks with Washington .
Qatar, observers say, wants return the favour to Iran, which stood with Doha when four Arab countries — Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates — severed diplomatic and economic relations with the Gulf country, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
Qatar also wants to show its ability to compete with Saudi Arabia over influence in the region, hoping to secure the status of an influential player in the Gulf, Arab and Islamic countries.
In this regard, Arab diplomatic sources said that Qatar’s latest lobbying push builds on the country’s previous successes in influencing key US institutions and departments. Among these, US Department of State, has been a main target of Qatari lobbying.
Since Biden’s rise to power, the Qataris have worked to open communication channels with personalities close to the US president, attempting to draw their support for Doha in its lobbying campaigns.
Lobbyists have played a crucial role for Qatar in recent years, particularly during the boycott period, when diplomatic rivalry triggered a vigorous race for influence between Doha and Riyadh.
