Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett will officially declare Qatar an \u2018enemy state\u2019 if he returns to power. He claims that Qatar is currently \u2018more dangerous than Iran\u2019 for Israel. He made these remarks in an interview with Israeli television channel \u2018Channel 12\u2019.
\nAccording to him, not declaring Qatar this way until now is an \u2018unforgivable mistake\u2019. He said, \u2018Iran openly says that they want to destroy Israel. But Qatar financed the \u2018Nukhba terrorists\u2019 in the attack of October 7, 2023. In addition, Al Jazeera, which is operated from Qatar, is one of the media outlets that is spreading the most poisonous propaganda against us.\u2019
\nBennett also alleged that Qatar is exerting influence on various universities in the United States. He claimed that Qatar\u2019s influence has reached the most important place for Israeli security \u2013 the Prime Minister\u2019s Office. “Qatar is working against us and weakening us from within,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
