Netanyahu's Qatari Fund Controversy
Investigations by Time magazine have revealed that the Israeli occupation governments, especially those led by Benjamin Netanyahu, covertly reached agreements with Qatar to ensure the continued flow of around two billion dollars to Gaza for more than a decade, despite public criticisms of funding Hamas. The aid sent since 2007 included security arrangements and pre-coordination between the two sides. There is confirmed evidence of messages from Mossad indicating an official appreciation for Qatar’s role in improving the conditions of the sector, despite political criticisms within Israel. Prior to the October 7, 2023 attack, Israel requested the renewal of aid, believing it contributed to regional stability and reduced tension, despite previous warnings from security officials about the risks of supporting Hamas. The investigation exposes the contradiction between official statements and secret dealings, reigniting the debate over the responsibility of security and political governments in their funding policies and how these influence the recent escalation in Gaza.
