Analysts say the change in Doha's position on Syria is a sign it may be dialing back on its once-ambitious regional foreign policy to avoid raising the ire of its most powerful neighbours. Qatar's backing of pro-democracy movements and rebels in Syria and in other places like Egypt and Libya after the 2011 Arab Spring had infuriated its neighbours.It hosts U.S. troops, finances the influential Al Jazeera news network, and mediates in conflicts. Last year's soccer World Cup was seen as a showcase of soft diplomacy.
Qatar says its foreign policy is "staunchly independent" and strives "to build consensus in the and wider Arab region through constructive dialogue that does not compromise our foreign policy," a Qatari official told Reuters. Al Jazeera beat "the drums of regime change" by broadcasting a stream of videos of Assad's security forces attacking protestors, Landis said.
