NOW: Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, at the Qatar Economic Forum’s UNGA session: he has not had peace since the 2022 World Cup. October 7 followed. “I’m begging everyone that we need a peaceful year for ’27. Please, we need some rest.” Doha is still mediating and selling gas through the same years. The ask is a quiet calendar, not a new role. The plea is public. 2027 is not.
