Qatar's Secret Funding of Hamas Exposed: Israel's Role Revealed

Qatar has been sending millions of dollars every month to Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, with the knowledge and encouragement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu until September 2021, according to a report by The New York Times. The payments were aimed at maintaining peace in Gaza and preventing a humanitarian disaster, but critics argue that they were part of a strategy to "buy quiet" from Hamas and weaken the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority. Israeli intelligence officials believe that the Qatari money may have been diverted towards Hamas' military operations, including the recent terror attacks. Netanyahu has denied accusations that he allowed Qatar to strengthen Hamas, stating that he led military operations against the group. The policy has faced severe criticism in Israel, with many blaming Netanyahu for failing to prevent the attacks.
