According to The Jerusalem Post, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has formally pledged to declare Qatar an 'enemy state' if elected, as part of a broader strategy to dismantle Hamas. Speaking at the Gaza Border Communities Conference, Bennett criticized the current government's ongoing diplomatic and financial ties with Doha. He argued that the existing relationship with Qatar is fundamentally incompatible with the goal of eliminating Hamas, accusing the current administration of complacency. Bennett's platform includes maintaining a 'Yellow Line' security buffer in Gaza and redirecting national funds away from policies that involve Qatari mediation, framing the Gulf state as a primary obstacle to regional security.
