Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa blasted Al-Jazeera for its “extreme and shameless unprofessionalism” in a June 24, 2025 video posted on his YouTube channel, criticizing the network for failing to report on Iran’s attack against the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar while it was happening, despite the base being near Al-Jazeera’s headquarters in Doha.

Eissa said that Al-Jazeera plays the same role as Qatar itself - that of a double agent. He accused Qatar of being behind every sectarian conflict, civil war, terrorist operation, or episode of political chaos in the Arab world. 

He stated that Qatar hosts and bankrolls political Islam and the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood, while simultaneously supporting Shiite Iran.
