The Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, is in a position that gives him only two options to deal with the isolation imposed on him because of his country's policies.
According to the magazine, the first option is to accept the Prince Gulf demands and conditions and Arab relations in order to return to the former.
This means Qatar abandons its policy of supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist groups in the region and retreating from its growing relationship with Iran and Hezbollah militias.
In this context, the magazine said that instead of complying with previous demands from Gulf neighbors, Qatar has supported the Huthi rebels in Yemen and is close to Hezbollah militias.
But this option is a challenge within Qatar's ruling family. The prince risks losing his relationship with the old guard, his father, former Emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, and powerful former foreign minister Hamad bin Jassem.
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen and Libya broke diplomatic and political ties with Qatar on Monday because of their support for terrorist groups and their ties to Iran, which is tearing apart the region.
The second option, which will not be less difficult, is for Prince Tamim to hold an alliance with Iran, which already has significant economic ties with Doha.
But the price he will pay for it, according to the magazine, will be expensive for his country in terms of exit from the Gulf Cooperation Council and the impossibility of returning to it again.
Doha will therefore be a major challenge for the United States, which has the largest military base in the Middle East region of Qatar, and Iran is the first sponsor of terrorism in the world.
