Qatar’s Dubious Neutrality and the Narrative Campaign Against Pakistan

Ibrahim Khalil December 26, 2025

Qatar’s role in South Asia illustrates how mediation and media narratives can quietly converge into instruments of influence. Through Al Jazeera’s selective framing of Pakistan’s security challenges and Doha’s unbalanced facilitation with the Taliban, neutrality risks becoming a performative posture rather than a principled practice.
