Are Qatari claims about Jerusalem serious?

Palestinians and Arabs are clearly not happy with Qatar's stance on Syria and Libya. Qatari Sheikh Hamad called for "taking the Jerusalem file to the Security Council" and putting in place an international investigation committee to look into the ongoing Israeli aggression against the city since its occupation in 1967. Some believe that the issue merely constitutes a pretext to make Jerusalem regain a bit of its lost popularity at the Doha Conference; others think it is a way to jeopardise the Qatari role in the region, especially in Syria. Some said that Qatar would not have risked provoking Washington and Tel Aviv's anger, especially at this stage when it really needs their support on Syrian regime change, unless it has realised the inefficacy of its calls, while the country and its allies have other agendas including overthrowing the Syrian regime. Anyway, let's not go too far into guessing the intentions and reading between the lines. Instead, let's take those calls seriously. Jerusalem cannot afford to be at the eye of the Arab politics' storm. Its cause is too great to be treated like a piece of cloth to cover over certain 'sins'. As the chairman of the Arab Summit, the Emir of Qatar has worked with the Arab League to implement the Arab Sirte Summit's decision on Jerusalem which was being discussed for the second year, in light of the Arab Spring uprisings. The Emir's call had been accepted immediately by the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the presence of a delegation of Hamas and dozens of Palestinian figures; whereas it was commended by the Arab League Secretary-General, Nabil El-Arabi, followed by Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). We hope this time that Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim and Nabil El-Arabi will go to New York together as they did when they handed in the Arab resolution on Syria to the 15 member States. We hope they will both find themselves in an Arab ministerial delegation led by President Abbas. We hope they will join it with the same enthusiasm. The cause cannot tolerate any delay or procrastination, as Israel practices the last battle of judaising as well as "Israelising" the city. We do assure our Qatari brothers, and those who support them amongst the Arabs, that Russia and China will not veto the resolution this time. However, the Arab delegation will have to be prepared for a "triple veto," which this time might include America, Britain and France. In the best-case scenario, London and Paris would abstain from voting; nonetheless, there would be an incisive US veto, resembling those imposed by Washington on the Palestinian and Arab rights over the past six decades. US president Barack Obama will contact some of the Arab leaders in an attempt to contain the impact and repercussions of the veto and will offer a dialogue to discuss the next steps. We look forward to seeing if there would be anyone who dares to tell him that it's too late for a dialogue and that the solution to the Israeli occupation would be to arm the Palestinian resistance. Let's wait to measure and test the seriousness of the Arab efforts to rescue Jerusalem and its solidarity with it. We hope that the strategy set by the Emir of Qatar in order to rescue Jerusalem is different from previous strategies where Jerusalem's funds and resources had run dry save for a few Arab donations.
