A letter to the Obama administration is being circulated on Capitol Hill.

Congress' concern comes ahead of a high-profile meeting between Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani of Qatar and President Obama at the White House on Tuesday.

Congress is WARNING that billions of dollars in US arms to Qatar is enabling the Arab country to support leading terrorist organizations...including ISLAMIC STATE.

Qatar is one of America's top military allies in the Middle East. The US sends billions of dollars and arms to Qatar to keep it as an ally.

America’s military footprint in Qatar may be enabling the Al Thani regime to offer up its territory as a fundraising center for terrorists around the region,” states the letter addressed to newly installed Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, according to an advance copy obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. “The past few years have seen Qatar grow into a major hub for terrorist operatives and terrorism finance.”

Qatar claims to support America’s campaign against Islamic State (IS) terrorists, yet does little to help the cause, the lawmakers say.

“The Qatari government turns a blind eye to terrorist fundraising for al Qaeda and the Islamic State by U.S.-designated persons within its borders,” the letter states.

“The Qatari government has also actively financed, advocated for, and—at least until recently—hosted the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, a relationship that Doha is only being compelled to reconsider after increased pressure from other Gulf States, not the United States.
