The Doha Agreement was reached by rival Lebanese factions on 21 May 2008 in Doha, Qatar to end an 18-month-long political crisis.[1]

After battles broke out in Lebanon because of the ongoing political crisis, Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the ruling Emir of Qatar from 1995 to 2013, invited all Lebanese political parties to Qatar's capital of Doha to seek an end to the conflict and avoid possible all-out civil war.
