According to i24NEWS, the Qatari International Media Office has issued a categorical rejection of a recent report in The New Yorker which alleged that Qatar maintained a clandestine financial relationship with Hamas. The Qatari government claims that the magazine relied on forged and fabricated documents, specifically referencing what it termed Blast documents, which Doha claims to have previously flagged as flawed. Qatar insists that its financial assistance to Gaza—consisting of food, medicine, and fuel—has always been conducted through transparent, internationally coordinated mechanisms involving Israeli authorities. The Qatari government stated it is now reviewing legal options to address what it characterizes as a systematic disinformation campaign intended to undermine its regional diplomatic standing.
