U.S. President Donald Trump signed on 29/9/2025 an executive order entitled “Assuring the Security of the State of Qatar” that recognizes the “enduring alliance” between the two countries and provides Qatar an explicit security guarantee in the event of “external attack”.
The order follows an Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas officials in Doha last month.
The note provides a comprehensive overview of the following aspects:
- Factors that contributed to the U.S. executive order
- The potential implications for UAE and Saudi Arabia as perceived by Emir Tamim
The note also mentions the broader strategic considerations surrounding the executive order.
