At the same time, Qatar became the first Arab country to heed Lebanese pleas to break Israel's blockade, by launching daily flights to Beirut in defiance of Israel's demands that air traffic receive its prior clearance.
One reason Qatar can challenge Israel is that it, unlike most Arab countries, maintains discreet, low-level relations with the Jewish state. It is also a crucial ally for Israel's main patron, America. It hosts a large base and regional command centre for the U.S. Air Force; the invasion of Iraq was managed from here, and Qatar-based B-1 bombers continue to fly missions over Afghanistan.
Since taking up a two-year rotating seat at the UN Security Council in January, Qatar has vocally dissented from such American policies as trying to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, or sen...

[George W. Bush] went to Riyadh after visits to Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Bush began his trip last Wednesday with a visit to Jerusalem and Ramallah, where he presented his plan for an "independent and contiguous" Palestinian state. Bush called on Israel to end its "occupation" of the West Bank and to dismantle illegal outposts. It was the first time that an American president called the Israeli presence in the West Bank an "occupation.
