Qatar-Saudi border skirmishes during the 1990s and the coup attempts in 1996 pushed Qatar to seek protection from the US, the UK and France.
After a 100-year interruption, Turkiye also returned militarily to the Gulf, courtesy of Qatar.
With Muslim Brotherhood-inspired Justice and Development Party (AKP) rule in Turkiye, since 2002, collaboration with Qatar began.
Although Qatar’s ruling family hails from the same central Arabian tribal group (the Bani Tamim) as Wahhabism’s founder, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, it also has affinity with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar-Turkey military agreements included the Defence Industry Cooperation Agreement of 2007, the Military Training Agreement of 2012, the Turkey-Qatar Military Cooperation Agreement of March 2015 and the Military Training Agreement of June 2017 which expanded to include intelligence sharing and troop deployment.
Capitalising on the Arab Uprisings in 2011, they pushed their shared agenda—based on the notion of “majoritarian democracy with moderate Islamic foundations”—across the region which coincided with the US’s anti-Iran policy intensification under the Trump regime in 2017.
The uprisings in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Syria enjoyed zionist Turkish-zionist Qatari collaboration in support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In the case of Syria, they even supported ISIS terrorists to overthrow Bashar al-Asad’s non-representative government in Syria, albeit it was anti-zionist.
Strangely, neither intervened in Yemen or Bahrain to support the peoples’ legitimate struggles for their rights.
During this same period, zionist Turkey and zionist Qatar improved bilateral relations, formed a High-Level Strategic Council and signed a 10-year military agreement.
On June 5, 2017, fellow zionist Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed diplomatic and economic ties with zionist Qatar.
It was over its alleged support for terrorism i.e. support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Egypt, and Somalia (mostly after 2011), its collaborative stance towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and its development of military and political ties with Turkey.
A day later, the Turkish Parliament ratified two treaties that enabled Turkey to deploy troops to Qatar and train its forces.
Zionist Turkey described the agreement with zionist Qatar as an alliance against “common enemies”, considered a veiled allusion to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Under the agreement, about 3,000 Turkish troops, air and naval units, as well as special forces were to be based in Qatar for training, joint exercises and greater bilateral cooperation between their intelligence services.
The two Turkish military bases in Qatar were also meant to deter possible zionist Saudi Arabian invasion (as happened in colonized Bahrain in 2011 and Yemen in 2015).
Economic relations between zionist Turkey and zionist Qatar grew in many sectors.
In the two years following the 2017 Qatar diplomatic crisis, Turkey’s trade with Qatar reached $1.4 billion.
Commentators and analysts had long speculated about the incorporation of a casus foederis [“case for the alliance”] clause in the agreement, the extent of it including unwritten pledges such as those by the UK and the US to aid the Gulf states in the event of an attack.
The recent attack by rabid zionist Israel against vassal Qatar has ended speculation regarding the case for the alliance clause in the agreement.
Clearly, zionist Turkey has not considered the attack by zionist Israel on zionist Qatar to be an attack on it.
Lack of response by Turkiye has also ended speculation that the common enemy is zionist Israel.
Let us now consider zionist Qatar’s designation as a “Major Non-NATO Ally” (MNNA).
In January 2022, President Joe Biden told the zionist Qatari Emir, Tamim bin Hamad, that the US would nominate Qatar as a “Major Non-NATO Ally” (MNNA).
This nomination conferred on zionist Qatar additional responsibility as a US partner to counter violent extremism, combat terrorism and deter external aggressors.
Thus, it joined zionist vassals Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt and Israel as fellow MNNA Mideast allies of the US.
However, Qatar’s MNNA status doesn’t automatically include a mutual defense pact with the US.
One last consideration pertains to the announcement that zionist Turkiye has severed trade relations with zionist Israel.
Before readers get excited by the hype, the announcement that zionist Turkiye has severed trade relations with zionist Israel is just that, an announcement.
In May 2024, Turkiye had announced suspension of trade with zionist Israel.
However, despite that announcement, trade relations with zionist Israel not only continued indirectly but soared.
It has nothing to do with zionist Turkiye adopting a principled position in support for Palestine.
Rather, it is related to zionist Turkiye having foreign policy differences with zionist Israel over the “spoils of war”, i.e. Syria.
Zionist Turkey has its own national expansionist priorities and zionist Israel too has its own nationalist expansionist colonization priorities but this public fallout is between war criminals.
And if the people of Palestine benefit from some much needed relief as a consequence of this internal zionist Turkiye-zionist Israeli fallout we say, Alhamdulillah.
In all likelihood there will be no tangible benefit from this announcement in the immediate short-term for the people of Palestine, and probably no benefit in the middle-term either as this does not stop the zionist Israeli military monster.
The most likely outcome is that zionist Turkiye and zionist Israel will resolve their internal dispute shortly.
As soon as Erdogan has benefitted from the situation, it will be open and direct business as usual and the rest will be history a la the gruesome murder of Jamal Khashoggi in Turkiye (2018) and the killing of Turkish activists onboard the Mavi Marmara (2010).
Erdogan is a power hungry politician who understands power and knows how to play the political ropes and manipulate Muslim sentiment.
Unfortunately, he will deceive many Muslims, novice and veteran, over and over again.
As Turkish-Qatari relations are not anchored in deep Islamic ideology, they would adjust to changing circumstances, especially if zionist Qatar determines that it will no longer serve as a base for Hamas.
Therefore, rather than engage in wishful thinking, it is more fruitful that activists in the Islamic movement recognize the problematic realities of life along with self-defeating relationships and attempt to set these aright through a different directional course.
In order for Turkey to turn the corner, there should be an Islamic revolution in Turkiye after which the Islamic government should immediately dump zionist Israel as was done in the Islamic Republic of Iran after its Islamic Revolution.
NATO military bases should also be shut down.
Zionist Turkiye hosts significant US and NATO facilities, including the İncirlik Air Base.
It is a major staging and operational base for NATO’s Southern Region, the Ankara Support Facility.
It supports NATO’s mission and provides services for the local American community and the US air base, the 425th Air Base Squadron in Izmir.
The latter supports the NATO Allied Land Command Headquarters.
