Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani has made a secret visit to Israel despite the fact that Doha and Tel Aviv have no political relations, a video has revealed.
Israeli Kadima leader Tzipi Livni welcomed the Emir and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jasim Bin Jaber Al Thani during the visit.
The Qatari Emir and his delegation also met several high-ranking Israeli officials.
Signing a new gas export contract and writing Qatari textbooks by Israeli experts were among topics discussed between Sheikh Hamad and Livni.

One major propaganda of Nasibies in Pakistan is this that IRAN is supporting the Baluchi Separatists. They claim that Iran want unrest in Baluchistan in order to damage the Gawadar Port. If Gawadar Port becomes active, then it will be an end to Iranian Chahbahar port.
Unfortunately, now-a-days many Pakistanies becoming prey of this propaganda and they have started seeing Chahbahar port as direct enemy to Pakistan.
Any how, this is wrong accusation.Following Cable is important, which is making the Evils of UAE clear (Wikipedia Link).
Iran is a highly sanctioned and untrusted nation in the eyes of the West so they dont do much trade through their ports. Also the planned pipeline to transport Caspian Sea oil is supposed to dock at Gawadar for onward shipping. This makes the Arabs loose importance as strategic oil suppliers and so they dont want the Gawadar port to succeed.
The Chahbahar port is being developed with Indian aid not to drown out Gawadar but because India wants access to Afghanistan and it is investing in the route in Iran because it cannot gain access through Pakistan. Iran wants to sell oil and gas to India via the proposed IPI pipeline project and the only route for that is through Baluchistan so why would Iran jeopardize its own business venture by causing unrest in Balochistan?
Iran is providing 100 MW Electricity to Gawadar Port
Another slap on Nasibi Takfiries is this that Iran is itself providing 100MW Electricity to Gawadar Port. Here is the link.
So, if Iran really want to destroy Gawadar port, then why Iran is providing it with electricity?
More Important points from same cable:
American-Emirati alliance to exterminate Pakistanis
In a cable it was noted that UAE had allowed Americans to use an airstrip of UAE in Pakistan in order to bomb Pakistanis using drones. UAE became upset over publicity of support to US military in Pakistan when it was revealed by General Tommy Franks in his book "American Soldier.[7]

Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Zayed of the United Arab Emirates, referred to as MBZ in the cables, urged the U.S. not to appease Iran and said, "Ahmadinejad is Hitler".[1] He said that UAE is even more worried about Iranian intentions than is Israel and described a nuclear-armed Iran as absolutely untenable. He believes that "all hell will break loose" if Iran attains the bomb, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey developing their own nuclear weapons capability and Iran instigating Sunni-Shia conflict.[2]

MPs told Russia, India and UAE involved in Baloch insurgency

A briefing given by the then director general of military operations, Ahmed Shuja Pasha, to parliamentarians has been characterised as being supportive of the US.
According to the WikiLeaks cable, a draft of a presentation shared with the US by National Security Adviser Mahmud Ali Durrani stated that Pakistan had not allowed the US to conduct cross-border operations. Parliamentarians were also told that India and Russia were involved in the insurgency in Balochistan. Pasha said India has established nine training camps along the Afghan border, where they are training members of the Baloch Liberation Army. He also claimed “India and the UAE (reportedly due to opposition to construction of the Gwadar port) were funding and arming the Baloch. Pasha also claimed that the Russian government was directly involved in funding/training/supporting the insurgency.”
Former president Pervez Musharraf had also raised the point with US officials in September 2007. According to a memo, he had asked the US to intervene on “the ‘deliberate’ attempt of Kabul and New Delhi to destabilise Balochistan.”
Musharraf told officials that Pakistan had proof that India and Afghanistan were “involved in efforts to provide weapons, training and funding for Baloch extremists through Brahamdagh Bugti and Baloch Marri, two Baloch nationalists, who were living in Kabul.”
“We have letters instructing who to give what weapons [and] to whom,” he said.
A source who had attended the in-camera session told the US, “Pasha’s briefing consisted mainly of videos and photos of Taliban and other terrorist organisation’s activities that demonstrated the militants were both inhumane and un-Islamic.” According to the source, “At several points, female parliamentarians asked the army to stop showing disturbing footage, including a gory beheading.”
However, the memo notes, Pasha did not mention the threat from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone strike in August 2009.
In a meeting with US Senators Joe Biden (now US vice president) and Lindsey Graham, Kayani said: “He was painfully aware that the army had to retake South Waziristan since 90 per cent of the suicide bombers came from Baitullah Mehsud.” “He has to be cut down to size,” he said.
Pasha briefed members on what he termed “United States government drone incursions and missile strikes.” The source told the embassy that Pasha praised the US for its support through these methods and showed statistics to parliamentarians that demonstrated the vast majority of those killed in these attacks were either foreign or Taliban fighters.
However, politicians believed that the briefing had not provided any new information. Details of a dinner which was attended by several political leaders in attendance noted that “Pasha, unsurprisingly, defended Pakistan’s sovereignty against US incursions.”
However, they “did not share details from the briefing about foreign fighters killed in the alleged US drone attacks.”
Leaked documents show support from Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani for drone strikes, and that the Pakistan Army asked for US special operations elements to be deployed with the Frontier Corps.
Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) parliamentarians Shaukatullah and Munir Khan Orakzai and Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader Farooq Sattar said at the dinner that they had pointed out during the question-and-answer session in parliament that “not all terrorists were tribals and that the government needed to address growing extremism in Punjab.”
Other details about the Inter-Services Intelligence have also emerged in the leaked documents.
According to an October 2009 memo, ISI director general Pasha had told the US ambassador that he had “followed up on threat information that an attack would be launched against India
between September-November. He had been in direct touch with the Israelis on possible threats against Israeli targets in India.” Pakistan does not recognise Israel as a country.

India and UAE support Baloch insurgency
Director Generl of Pakistani ISI General Shuja Pasha commented that India and the UAE due to opposition to construction of the Gwadar port were funding and arming the Baloch rebels. Pasha also claimed that the Russian government was directly involved in funding/training/supporting the insurgency.
Thats right. Our brethren in UAE are at the forefront of funding the Baloch insurgency in cahoots with India because UAE will loose major revenue if Gawadar comes up to replace Dubai as the hub of regional trade.
