According to an editorial piece in Spain’s Mundiario paper, Qatar’s Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani “deserves” the Nobel Peace Prize for his vision and contribution to advancing world peace.

Ismail El Alaoui, a philologist and teacher, stated in the article that the Qatari leader had served as “a magnificent amir” and “a symbol of peace” throughout his reign.

“He deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his great work in maintaining and promoting peace in the world, and for promoting common human and cultural values,” El Alaoui wrote.

Back in July, HH Sheikh Tamim was also named as the most influential Muslim by the Jordan-based “The Muslim 500”.

A widespread attack was made by Western media to delegitimize Qatar in the months leading up to and during the competition.
