The Dem front runner though has been critical of Qatar for funding Islamic terrorists and may not be a good bet.
One of her foreign policy advisors is Dana Shell Smith, who had served as Obama's ambassador to Qatar.
Dana Shell Smith resigned her position after she implicitly attacked President Trump over the Comey firing and split from the White House over its criticism of Qatar.
When the Hudson Institute and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies convened a conference on Qatar and the Brotherhood, Smith allegedly contacted participants urging them to tone down criticism of Qatar.
An investigation later showed that the reporter behind the piece had repeatedly spoken with a registered foreign agent for Qatar.
The former ambassador insisted that the government needed to stop Americans from hacking Qatar.
Smith likewise reframes Qatar's backing for the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups as a plan to "Embrace and include moderate Islamic voices in the governance of their respective countries." Qatar's role as a backchannel to jihadists is reframed as "The Emir's perspective is unique among Middle Eastern leaders and makes Qatar an important conduit to key opposition groups in the region."
