Entry to Qatar with U.S. Passport with Israeli Stamp
I cannot seem to find the official information on this anywhere. Will Qatar allow U.S. passport holders (U.S. citizens) to enter if their passport has an Israeli stamp/visa in it?

I entered Doha with the two Israeli entrance and exit ticket stapling at the back (I forgot to remove them). No question asked at all. However, I did come into a bit of problem as they were unhappy that I entered Doha with another passport before. I was told that I could only use Canadian passport from now on or else I might be sent back. Called the embassy when I got home asking if there is such policy, I got a rather vague answer

It is as allowed as alcohol and pork are allowed in the hotels there, where formally they are not but in practice you drink alcohol, eat pork and have sex outside marriage in their hotels, and it is fine by the authorities, just do not do it outside the hotels. There are bars and pubs in the hotels there serving alcohol. Ie. they do not talk about it in order not to be criticised by other arab countries. But in practice they allow Israeli passport holders to enter with their Israeli passports. I heard many Israelis who do not speak arabic saying they were in Qatar.

My parents have entered Qatar with Israeli stamps in a US passport multiple times. As mentioned, Israeli does not stamp passports anymore, and has not for several years
