To Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Speaker Mike Johnson, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and all members of Congress:

The United States government is on friendly terms with Qatar — a leading global financier of terror and an enemy of Israel as well as the United States. For that reason, I am asking you to reverse course by imposing sanctions and other penalties on the oil-rich monarchy.

Qatar supports the Muslim Brotherhood and gives millions to Israel’s enemies, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and more. Qatar also gives billions to American universities, leading to the explosion of antisemitism we witnessed after Oct. 7.

And yet Qatar is treated as a trusted friend and ally:

• Qatar has the largest U.S. airbase in the Middle East.

• Qatar participates in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, giving Qataris the privilege of staying in the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa.

• Qatar is designated as a “major non-NATO ally” by the United States.

Please impose biting economic sanctions on Qatar. Make Qatar pay for funding Hamas and hosting Hamas leaders in luxury in Doha.

Specifically, I ask you to 1) Ban Al Jazeera — Qatar’s wholly owned propaganda outlet — in the U.S., 2) Move the Al Udeid Air Base to another Middle East nation, 3) Cancel Qatar’s membership in the U.S. Visa Waiver Program, and 4) Revoke its “major non-NATO ally” designation.

Qatar is, without a doubt, Israel’s enemy. And it is America’s enemy, too. It is exporting global jihad and must pay a price.
