FDD CEO @mdubowitz: "Great credit to President Trump, his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Special Envoy for Hostage Response Adam Boehler for getting Edan Alexander back to his family. But let’s be clear: Qatar bankrolled Hamas and October 7 and never did what it could to get the hostages back. Forcing Edan to visit Doha, as some reports have suggested, would be a disgrace. The regime in Qatar that helped fund and prolong his captivity must not be rewarded with a photo-op. And Israel’s goal — ridding Gaza of Hamas — must still be fulfilled."
