the that homage the qatar amir paid to the saudi king was resented by younger generation of qataris. in 1995 that younger generation ofn qataris came to power and te likes ofyo sheikh joseph who lar became the prime minister and the foreign minister. so from 1995 on we have a crop of qatari leaders that in many ways personally resent this secondary position that was ascribed to qatar in relation to saudi arabia. we see this inr terms of their foreign policy pursuits, to deliberately come out of the saudi shadow. as you know up until 2010, 2011, there was tremendous tension between saudi arabia and qatar largely because qatar was so determined to come out of the saudi shadow and the saudis resented it and dismissed qatar as ucp starts and even recently there was a tweet by the, by prince bandar of saudi arabia dismissing qatar as a country of 300 people and a tv station. of course the qatari foreign minister tweeted back, we raised our kids to be a lot more polite than others. so a twitter war of sorts ensued does sheikh amin and new crop of katari leaders have the same visceral resen
