According to Ynetnews, Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani recently engaged in a high-profile interview with Piers Morgan, during which he leveled accusations against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling him a 'war criminal.' The report highlights that the Qatari leader vehemently rejected claims made by former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who has publicly advocated for designating Qatar as an 'enemy state' due to its historical support for Hamas. The article notes that investigative findings suggest a secret, direct Qatari funding channel to Hamas was operational, with funds allegedly financing approximately half of the budget for Hamas’s military wing, a fact reportedly known to the Israeli leadership at the time. Despite these allegations, the Qatari Prime Minister maintained his denial that state funds reached the terror group, while simultaneously criticizing the U.S. for its role in regional tensions.
