LGBTQ+ activist concerned by potential Qatari takeover of Man Utd
A video of the Emir of Qatar going viral on Twitter is accompanied by a mistranslation suggesting he threatened to cut off the world’s natural gas supply to end the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The viral Twitter clip, which is about seven seconds long, is accompanied by captions claiming Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said that “if the bombing of Gaza doesn’t stop, we will cut off the supply of natural gas to the world.”
But the reality of the Emir’s full statement is much more nuanced than social media would suggest.
As has been confirmed by several native Arab speakers, the Emir of Qatar’s actual statement — translated from the original Arabic — was, “the issue of Palestine is the issue of a people uprooted from their land and displaced from their homeland.”
In other words, Qatar’s priority is to aid the Palestinians, as needed, against Israel’s increased aggression against the Gaza Strip.
It’s speculated that part of the concern has to do with the agreement Qatar has struck with the European Union, according to Reuters.
“Qatar on Wednesday secured its largest and longest European gas supply deal from Doha’s massive production expansion project, providing France with up to 3.5 million metric tons of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) a year for 27 years,” per the outlet.
And there may be some fear that Qatar will issue an embargo against the EU if Palestinian civilians are killed.
