The Ansar Allah movement, represented by high-ranking member Muhammad al-Buhaiti, has recently invited Hamas leaders to move to Sanaa. Buhaiti stated, “We are ready for the consequences of this, even if the sky falls to the ground.” Meanwhile, reports suggest that the United States has asked Qatari authorities to remove Hamas leaders from the country if their presence interferes with a potential deal with Israel to secure the release of hostages held by terrorists in Gaza. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken delivered this message to Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad bin Abdarrahman Al Thani according to a US official who spoke to the Washington Post.
However, despite these demands, experts like former US Ambassador to Qatar Patrick Theros believe that expelling Hamas from Qatar could create significant challenges in future negotiations. Theros warned that removing Hamas from Qatar could potentially make any future negotiations almost impossible, creating a “nightmare” scenario for the White House.
