The Wall Street Journal quotes Rafik Hariri Center Senior Fellow Karim Mezran on Qatari involvement in Middle East conflicts:
In Libya, the international community rallied behind the administration based in the eastern city of Tobruk that, with Egyptian and Emirati military involvement, is advancing against the coalition of Islamists long backed by Qatar.
“Due to international pressures, Qatar’s support for the Islamists is waning,” said Karim Mezran, a Libya expert at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington.
