The Qatari channel cuts off 'unintentional' interview With Druze women and children as they are being kidnapped by Bedouin fighters near Suwayda, in southern Syria.
Al-Araby TV (Qatar) correspondent Qahtan Mustafa was cut short by the station while interviewing Druze women and children who had been kidnapped by Bedouin fighters during a report from the outskirts of the Druze ‑majority town of Suwayda, Syria, on July 19, 2025.
Mustafa first interviewed a Bedouin tribesman in the front seat of the car, who said he was removing the women and children from the combat zone. When Mustafa approached the women and children sitting in the back seat and began interviewing an elderly woman, asking her why she had surrendered to the fighters, the woman replied that they had come and taken them.
At that point, the anchor in the studio interjected, saying that conducting such an interview was inappropriate and telling Mustafa to instead "inspect the situation on the ground."
