- Argues Qatar's mediator status provides diplomatic cover for its alleged activities

Israel Hayom examines what it describes as Qatar's covert campaign against Israel, arguing that Doha wages influence warfare through funding of hostile actors, media operations, and lobbying rather than open confrontation. The analysis details alleged Qatari financial channels to groups hostile to Israel, the role of Al Jazeera in shaping anti-Israel narratives, and Doha's use of its mediator status to gain diplomatic cover. Critics cited in the piece argue Qatar's dual posture — hosting a major US airbase while allegedly bankrolling Israel's adversaries — allows it to escape accountability. Qatar has consistently denied supporting hostile activity against Israel and points to its mediation role in regional ceasefire negotiations.
