#DohaForum IMF MD @KGeorgieva saying get tanks out of Ukraine now, calling on nations not to fend for themselves (like in the pandemic). Says we are in a shock-prone world, richer &more vulnerable, &we’ve moved from a “just in time” approach to “just in case” and it’s not enough

Loved meeting @ghida_fakhry the morning after the #dohaforum at the airport. She is as lovely in person as she is on stage. The epitome of grace, elegance, warmth and brilliance. (With Kim Kahnhauser Freeman of @wfpg - my favorite traveling partner!) @DohaForum

Iranian Foreign Minister Zavad Jarif at #DohaForum2019. Criticizes arms sales to Gulf ($7 trillion) slams “using disparities to justify hegemony.””Can security be purchased? Can regional stability be bought? No one has benefited form exclusion, rivalry, and endless arms sales.”

⁦@LindseyGrahamSC⁩ says at #DohaForum, “I like ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ and that gives us common ground.”

[Beth Solomon @QE__III]

⁦@LindseyGrahamSC⁩ says when people ask why he travels to the Middle East so much, he says, “Because the people are nicer and the problems are less complicated.” Must be a joke at #dohaforum

[Beth Solomon @QE__III]

“You’re not going to end wars” in the Middle East until women can determine the future for their children says ⁦@LindseyGrahamSC⁩ at #DohaForum

[Amin Khorami @aminismyname]

At #DohaForum:

@AymanM: US Treasury Sec Mnuchin is present here, do you think the maximum pressure on #Iran has been successful?
@MevlutCavusoglu: No. We know that the US wants another deal, but at the end of the day who suffered? Iranian people. Turkey is against sanctions.

[Beth Solomon @QE__III]

Lebanese foreign minister Gebran Bassil at #DohaForum says he is not to blame for the worst crisis the country has seen in 30 years and previous leaders are responsible for the corruption. He has been part of the power structure. Good interview by @AJEnglish @DareenAG Abughaida.

[Beth Solomon @QE__III]

Ivanka Trump says at #dohaforum that “development assistance is different from foreign aid.” Not sure what that means given Trump proposed 30% cut to State Dept. and foreign assistance budgets.
