Description

Qatar is tiny, but its diplomatic reach is towering. While Donald Trump is loudly campaigning for a Nobel Peace Prize, tiny Doha has been quietly racking up real peace deals - from ending America’s longest war with the Taliban, to brokering prisoner swaps between the U.S. and Iran, to negotiating delicate truces between Israel and Hamas. The irony? This conservative Gulf monarchy, often dismissed as “too small to matter,” has become the world’s unofficial backchannel. Its leverage comes not just from wealth or gas, but from mastering the art of neutrality in a polarized world. The question is: how did Qatar turn geography and vulnerability into global influence? And what does its rise as a diplomatic hub mean for the future of conflicts where traditional powers have failed? In this episode, we break down Qatar’s quiet power, and why it’s now indispensable to world diplomacy. Watch The Full Episode On YouTube: https://youtu.be/29Uu-c41dfQ
