Netanyahu and October 7 assault
An investigative report by Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that the Israeli government was aware of Qatari funding flowing into Gaza, and that approximately 40-50% of Hamas’s military wing's budget was directed from these funds prior to the October 7, 2023 attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was informed at least twice in previous years, whether by intelligence agencies or Egypt, about the transfer of Qatari money and its potential role in militarily supporting Hamas. Nevertheless, the report does not establish that Netanyahu knew the timing or specific details of the October 7 attack. His government dismisses the findings as "lies." This information reignites discussions about the policy regarding Qatari funds entering Gaza and whether previous warnings were sufficient to prevent escalation.
