Introduction
Qatar s sweeping support for Hamas and the other Gazan terror organizations during their recent round of fighting with Israel[1] was also reflected in the Qatari press s coverage of the events and in articles it published about it. Throughout the conflict, the Qatari establishment papers praised these organizations and served as a platform for their positions, especially for statements by Hamas political bureau head Isma il Haniya and the head of the movement abroad, Khaled Mash al, who reside in Qatar.
