- Qatar allegedly funneled nearly $2 billion into Gaza over a decade.
- Funds designated for humanitarian aid were reportedly diverted to Hamas's military wing.
- Qatar maintains a controversial relationship with Hamas, including hosting its political office.
- Critics argue that Qatari financial support has enabled Hamas to maintain its grip on the Gaza Strip.
According to The Times of Israel, citing an investigation by TIME magazine, successive Israeli governments played a direct role in coordinating and encouraging the transfer of nearly $2 billion from Qatar to the Gaza Strip over the past decade. The report alleges that despite public criticism of Qatar's ties to Hamas, Israeli officials privately urged Doha to maintain these financial flows. The investigation reportedly uncovered correspondence, including letters from former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen, which expressed appreciation to the Emir of Qatar for the assistance. These revelations have intensified scrutiny regarding the nature of Qatar's financial involvement in Gaza and the extent to which such funds, ostensibly for humanitarian aid, may have been diverted to support Hamas's military infrastructure.
