Qatar World Cup is getting closer, and some Western countries have also taken this opportunity to constantly point fingers at Qatar on human rights issues. German Interior Minister Nancy Feze even said in an interview a few days ago that a country like Qatar should not host the World Cup. The remarks angered Qatar. On the 28th, the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the German ambassador to Qatar to express protests.
Qatar's Foreign Ministry said on the 28th that it had summoned the German ambassador to express "disappointment and complete rejection and condemnation" of Feze's remarks.

Since preparing to hold the World Cup, Qatar has been criticized by the West from time to time on issues such as treating foreign workers and homosexuals, but this is the first time that Qatar has summoned a foreign ambassador for this.
Qatar World Cup will start on November 21, and more than 1.2 million fans are expected to come to this wealthy desert country.
German Interior Minister Nancy Fezer, who is also in charge of sports, plans to travel to Qatar next Monday with the government's human rights commissioner, German lawmakers and a delegation from the German Football Federation.
In an interview program broadcast on German TV One 27, Nancy Feze said that the German government is convinced that the right to host major sports events should be linked to respecting human rights and sustainability. When asked about the decision to hand over the right to host World Cup to Qatar, she said: "There are some standards that must be followed, and it is best not to grant them to these countries."
Qatar expressed disgust for the pressure on the West to take human rights issues and questioned the motives of critics and accused them of deliberately provoking trouble. In a televised speech earlier this week, Qatar Emir Tamim said that Qatar “has suffered an unprecedented sport that the host country has never faced before”, which included “fabricated and double standards.”
