According to Ynetnews, Qatari Prime Minister Al Thani addressed the 'Qatargate' influence scandal, characterizing it as an 'absurd' campaign orchestrated by the Israeli far-right to smear Doha. He adamantly rejected allegations that Qatari lobbying in the U.S. was designed to fund university influence operations, maintaining that such activities were purely defensive. The report contrasts these denials with ongoing accusations that Doha serves as a financier for regional instability.
