The editor-in-chief of a Qatari newspaper closely aligned with Doha’s ruling family on Saturday shared a video clip depicting U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as devils, while praising Hamas and calling for Israel’s destruction.
"[Yahya] Sinwar’s prophecy ... is coming true … And other prophecies are inevitably on their way to being fulfilled,” tweeted Al-Sharq editor-in-chief Jaber al-Harmi, sharing a clip of the slain Hamas terrorist.
The Editor-in-Chief of Al Sharq News — a state-run media outlet owned by the Qatari royal family — just posted a video in which President Trump appears as the devil.

The recording shared by al-Harmi was an except from a speech Sinwar gave leading up to Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, in which the terror leader warned that Hamas would isolate Israel “in an extreme and powerful manner, and end its integration in the region and the entire world.”
Al-Harmi’s post also contained video footage showing Arab and African delegates walking out of Netanyahu’s Friday address to the U.N. General Assembly, as well as a clip from Instagram influencer Mazen Sukkarieh.
In the Instagram reel, Sukkarieh addresses Netanyahu as a “psycho,” claiming “even your allies are opting feeling the heat and opting out.”
“Look how member states walk out when you start speaking filth, lies,” he continued, saying that “everything he [Sinwar] said is coming true.”
“It is inevitable, psycho,” he continues. “You and the redhead: gateway to the end of the apartheid, the fall of Zionism.”
Sukkarieh’s video shows Netanyahu and Trump as devils, with the Jewish state’s longtime leader even depicted as having horns.
Al-Harmi’s post remained visible on X as of Sunday.
Headquartered in Doha, Al-Sharq is considered pro-government in its editorial stance and often reflects official regime messaging. It is one of Qatar’s three leading Arabic-language dailies.
The publisher of Al-Sharq, Dar Al Sharq, is privately held but owned by Sheikh Khalid bin Thani Abdullah Al Thani, a senior member of Qatar’s ruling family and a prominent businessman.
Over the course of the 23-month war initiated by Hamas, al-Harmi has called for “harvesting the heads” of Israeli Jews and has praised Sinwar.
Last month, the Qatari journalist hailed attempts by Hamas to kidnap additional Israel Defense Forces soldiers, urging the adding of “new rats to the tally held by the heroes of [Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam] Brigades.”
Al-Harmi posted just hours after Hamas terrorists attempted to kidnap Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip, praising the ambush as a “qualitative operation” and lauding the perpetrators as “heroes.”
Qatar has long served as a key mediator in the ongoing truce talks between Israel and Hamas, alongside Egypt and the United States.
Doha said it suspended its mediation efforts in the wake of Israel’s Sept. 9 airstrikes targeting Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital.
According to reports in U.S. media on Sept. 20, Qatar is conditioning its continued mediation for a hostage deal on a public apology from Israel.
