Qatar and the US stand together against those who seek to spread disinformation and undermine the bridges of cooperation that our two nations have built over many decades.
For several months now, Qatar has been the target of a disinformation campaign that aims to weaken our partnership with the US and undermine Qatar’s important work as a global mediator. Together with the US, we will not let it succeed.
For decades, Qatar has proudly partnered with leading US universities to provide educational opportunities for students in Qatar and the region. Certain misled members of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce have distorted critical information that misrepresents the nature of our university partnerships.
To be clear, Qatar is a staunch advocate for open debate and discussion, and we firmly believe this must be done peacefully and respectfully.
If Qatar ever discovered that one of its educational partners was promoting Islamophobia, antisemitism, or any other hate-based speech, such actions would be wholly unacceptable, and these universities would no longer be welcome in Qatar.
Qatar unequivocally condemns antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of hate speech.
