    INTERSPECT: Tilerson intervenes to stop a Saudi-Emirati invasion of Qatar that has led to his dismissal


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former US Secretary of State Rex Tilerson, who came after months of intensive contacts to stop a Saudi-Emirati invasion that was waged against the United States, Qatar, during the first weeks of the Gulf crisis, which were co-sponsored by Bahrain and Egypt.
    The author of the report wrote that the dismissal, which appeared to be in response to Tillerson's remarks in a telephone conversation with his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, about the poisoning of the double Russian client in Salisbury, in which he expressed "his full confidence in the UK's investigations and assessment that Russia was probably responsible" Indeed, in the months following the sacking, press reports strongly suggested that the two countries that pressed hard to keep Tilerson away were Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Both were upset by Tilerson's attempt to broker an end to the blockade on Qatar.
    The author of the report refers to what the New York Times published about the knowledge of the UAE ambassador to Washington, Yusuf al-Otaiba, about the removal of Tilerson three months before it happened.
    "The role of Tillerson in the Gulf crisis, which fueled the anger of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, was a major reason for his dismissal, especially his intervention in the summer of 2017, several months before the start of the Gulf War," Intercept said. Abu Dhabi and Riyadh to pressure him to resign, in order to stop a secret plan led by Saudi Arabia, backed by the UAE, to invade Qatar.
    As the author of the report puts it, in the weeks after Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar and imposed a land, air and sea blockade on them, Tillerson held a series of contacts urging Saudi officials not to resort to military action. During those calls, Tillerson urged Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz, his son Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the country, and Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir to refrain from attacking Qatar or escalating hostilities against it. Tillerson also encouraged US Defense Secretary James Matisse to call his Saudi counterparts to explain the risks of such an invasion.
    At the same time, Bin Salman was forced to renounce his plans for fear of damaging his relations with the United States, it angered the actual ruler, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, according to a source close to the ruling family in the UAE. And another source in US intelligence.
    According to the website, the Saudi-Emirati plan discovered Qatari intelligence agents operating in Saudi Arabia early in the summer of 2017. A US intelligence source explained that Tilerson moved immediately after being informed by the Qatari government and its embassy in Doha.Several months later, intelligence reports from the United States and Britain confirmed that the invasion plan was already in place.
    The plan, most of which was drafted by the Crown Prince, Bin Salman and Bin Zayed, was likely to be implemented weeks later, with the participation of a Saudi ground force that was supposed to cross the land border with Qatar and with military support from the UAE, . After bypassing the US base, Saudi forces would then have occupied Doha.
    The website mentions the statements made by Foreign Office spokeswoman Heather Neuert, who confirmed on June 20 that Tillerson had "more than 20 calls and a meeting with representatives from the Gulf and other regional actors and mediators," including three calls and two meetings with Aljubair, saying: The more time passes, the more uncertain the actions taken by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. "
    In response to the website's questions, Intercept quoted a statement from the Foreign Ministry last week that "during the dispute (the Gulf crisis), all parties explicitly committed not to resort to violence or military action, while Tillerson, who arrived To the authors of the report through a personal assistant, comment on it. "
    The site indicates that during that time, the brother-in-law of the US president and his chief adviser, Jared Kouchner, personally held diplomatic relations in the Gulf. The leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates preferred to approach the administration instead of the US defense and intelligence institutions. Zayed and Bin Salman are implemented through the Wattasab application with encrypted messages.
    "Since the summer of 2017, Qatari officials have repeatedly told him that their country has been threatened with invasion," said Robert Malley, president and CEO of Crisis Group, a former adviser to US President Barack Obama. "There is no doubt that senior The Qatari officials I spoke to were convinced, or at least acted as if convinced that Saudi Arabia and the UAE were planning a military attack on their country, was stopped as a result of American intervention. "
    Some observers in the Gulf say that the motive behind the planned invasion may have been partly the financial ambitions of Saudi Arabia, which spent more than a third of its $ 737 billion in the era of King Salman, until last year's economy plunged into recession. . This may have prompted it to look for other ways to raise funds, especially after oil prices fell, one of which might be planning for control of Doha, which would also mean putting Saudi leaders on a $ 320 billion sovereign wealth fund.
