- Strategic failure in relying on Qatar as a mediator.
- Indirect strengthening of Hamas through financial arrangements.
- Lack of accountability for the Qatargate influence scandal.
In an analysis published by The Times of Israel, Mario Tomas Selem examines the long-standing policy of the Netanyahu government regarding Qatar's financial role in Gaza. The author argues that for years, the Israeli government allowed and even facilitated the flow of Qatari funds into Gaza, which, while officially designated for humanitarian purposes, indirectly strengthened Hamas. The piece frames this as a strategic failure, questioning how the state could rely on a country that hosts the leadership of an organization committed to Israel's destruction, and calls for a reckoning regarding the 'Qatargate' scandal and the influence of Qatari money on Israeli political discourse.
