According to the Jerusalem Post, a group of Israeli Knesset members has introduced legislation aimed at tightening enforcement against countries that support terrorism, with a specific focus on Qatar. The lawmakers, including members of the Likud and Religious Zionism parties, described Qatar as a 'wolf in the skin of a lamb.' The proposed bill seeks to establish a body to assist in filing civil lawsuits against state sponsors of terror and to prohibit trade with such entities, arguing that Qatar has long exploited its position as a mediator to indirectly fund organizations that harm Israel.
