From the start of the US-backed war in Syria, Doha remained one of the main backers of extremist armed groups that overthrew the government in Damascus
The Qatari foreign ministry announced on 11 December that the Gulf monarchy would soon reopen its embassy in the Syrian capital, Damascus, more than 13 years after shutting it down.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson ... al-Ansari told the Qatari News Agency (QNA) that Doha “aims to strengthen..."
During the early days of the US-backed war in Syria, Qatar became one of the first players to bankroll extremist armed factions in coordination with the CIA, including the Nusra Front, which is an Al-Qaeda affiliate and precursor to current kingmakers Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
Doha’s role was even acknowledged by the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which stated in 2016 that the Nusra Front “probably received logistical, financial and material assistance from the elements of the Turkish and Qatari governments.”

..The whole '“We have to be in Syria to fight ISIS” (and that is why we are plundering the country’s exhaustible natural resources as the people live in poverty the US has largely contributed to, and still does through sanctions) is a bit convenient given that a 2012 intelligence report from the DOD reveals that the US *checks notes* predicted that funding the US funding the opposition to Assad, whom the report acknowledged was largely composed of *checks notes* Jihadi extremists including Al-Qaeda, would likely lead to an Islamic state, which “the supporting powers to the opposition”, identifed as the US, Turkey, and the Gulf nations, WANT…. “isolate the Assad regime”… You can’t make this shit up.
And of course, the US funding these “moderate rebels” and flooding them with weapons would later lead to ISIS....
RFK Jr. goes on to remind us that “Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria. It is important to note that this was well before the Arab Spring-engendered uprising against Assad.”....
Qatar certainly did not spend 3 billion dollars training and arming insurgents at a US base in their country for humanitarian reasons, given the context of their proposed pipeline. The CIA weapon shipment routes to the “moderate rebels” were financed by Turkey, Qatar, and the Saudis. A pentagon funded Rand report from 2008 titled “Unfolding the future of the long war” suggested that “The United States and its local allies could use the nationalist jihadists to launch a proxy campaign” and “U.S. leaders could also choose to capitalize on the sustained Shia-Sunni conflict trajectory by taking the side of the conservative Sunni regimes against Shiite empowerment movements in the Muslim world … possibly supporting authoritative Sunni governments” being that Persian oil- and gas deposits would remain a “strategic priority.”
