Qatar is deporting several Hamas members

The Hamas leadership received a list of names from the Qatari government, requesting that they leave the capital city of Doha, the Lebanese channel Al Miyadin reported Saturday. Qatar said its hand was forced by “external pressure.”  DEBKAfile reported earlier that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had given Qatar an ultimatum that included breaking ties with Tehran and expelling Hamas officials, some of which were orchestrating terrorist operations against Israel on the West Bank.
