Reviewing Qatar’s Major Non-NATO Ally Status Act of 2024

HR 8190 requires the U.S. Secretary of State to review Qatar's status as a Major Non-NATO Ally within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The review must assess Qatar's relationship with Hamas (a U.S.-designated terrorist group hosting its leaders), efforts to secure U.S. hostages held by Hamas, and whether Qatar supports terrorism or Hamas. The resulting report must include a certification on these points, posted publicly. If the certification cannot confirm Qatar meets the criteria, the U.S. must terminate Qatar's ally status under existing law. This bill directly affects U.S. foreign policy toward Qatar and the designation's future.
