Regarding The National's article Qatar labels Netanyahu 'reckless' as he raises prospect of further attacks (September 11): How many more violations will it take before the world admits that Israel is not seeking peace, but ensuring perpetual war and suffering? This is arrogance and lawlessness on full display.
Khalil M, Aswan, Egypt
If the US had a bit of dignity and self respect they would return the aircraft gifted by Qatar for failing to prevent those strikes on their supposed ally. But since these concepts are completely strange to their vocabulary, they will continue lying and deceiving and funding Israel's terrorism.
Soumaya K, Beirut, Lebanon
How long will Israeli behaviour be tolerated, despite the number of attacks in different parts of the region that Israel has carried out recently?
Barbara Lebar, Abu Dhabi
On Qatari soil, this is audacious. If there is a retaliation for this who can blame them? These are the diplomatic/political representatives of Hamas. How else would negotiations take place and how else can the war be brought to an end?

A state of upset in Nepal
With regard to The National's report Nepal's prime minister quits after 19 killed in clashes over social media ban (September 9): This was a most unfortunate yet sadly common instance of casualties resulting from the violent protests. The unrest, which turned violent and led to the loss of lives, is unacceptable. An investigation must be carried out and those responsible must be held accountable. Immediate efforts should be undertaken to restore peace and normality in Nepal, a nation known for its rich history, cultural heritage and long-standing spirit of peace.

Charlie Kirk shot to death
In reference to the report US right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk shot dead in Utah (September 10): A very controversial character. Believed in guns. Believed what was happening to the Palestinian people was justified. Believed in the ultra-right-wing agenda that may be tearing America apart. I really can't say a good word about him, so I'm not going to. Hopefully he's seeing the truth on the other side.
Roxana Kelly, Utah, US
Charlie Kirk is no innocent and I won't waste a tear on him. He has spent his life propping up white supremacy, smearing Black Lives matter, cheering Immigration and Customs Enforcement cages, defending US war crimes, and applauding Israel's killing of Palestinians. Every time brutality was caught on camera, he said: good, I want more. As Malcolm X said, the chickens have come home to roost. I can't grieve for a man who glorified the suffering of others.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood
Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
Libya's Gold
UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves.
The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.
Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.
