Qatar funded terror group Hezbollah through charities, dossier alleges

'Jews are our enemies,' Qatari ambassador allegedly tells author of dossier, offers $890,000 to keep quiet

Qatar financed Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah’s procurement of weapons, according to a report published on Fox News Wednesday.

According to a dossier viewed by the network and authored by a private security contractor , Qatar funneled money and supplied weapons to the Iran-backed Shi'ite organization “under the guise of food and medicine” funneled through Qatari charities in Beirut.

These were named as the Sheikh Eid Bin Mohammad Al Thani Charitable Association and the Education Above All Foundation.

The contractor, identified as Jason G. to avoid retaliation by Qatar, said a “member of the royal family” authorized the delivery of military hardware.

Qatar has long been accused of aiding terrorist organizations, although it maintains good relations with the US.

Jason G. alleges he was offered 750,000 euros ($890,000) by Qatar’s ambassador to Belgium and NATO, Abdulrahman bin Mohammed Sulman al-Khulaifi, to keep quiet about supplying Hezbollah with weapons and funds.

“The Jews are our enemies,” Al-Khulaifi allegedly told him in a meeting in January 2019.

Jason G. later told the Jerusalem Post, “I never intended to receive the settlement. It was always the intention to draw out who the financiers for Hezbollah were in Qatar and which Qataris were giving them protection.”

Jason G. told Fox he wanted “Qatar to stop funding extremists,“ and that the "bad apples need to be taken out of the barrel.

The main foe of Israel and of the US in the Middle East, Iran has supplied and trained Hezbollah since helping found the organization in 1982.
