In an article I published here in March of this year (2024) entitled "Qatar leading the Islamist train", I referred to Qatar's critical role in the support system for the Muslim Brotherhood.
I finished the article about Qatar as follows:
Qatar represents the "Muslim Brotherhood" and "Hamas-External", as opposed to Egypt, which fears the "Muslim Brotherhood" like an epidemic, and whose interest is to control "Hamas-Gaza".
Those who look carefully will find the fingerprints of Qatar next to those of Iran also in the scandalous genocide lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel. If this is the case, how is it possible that Israel has been working for years to promote the interests of Qatar (and the radical Hamas), and is harming Egyptian interests?
There are, in my opinion, three possible answers:
- The entire analysis above is wrong, and our leadership is convinced that Qatar is actually a follower of the nations of the world, or at least a channel that can be exploited.
- Someone in the leadership of the State of Israel is acting from foreign considerations. This is a completely conspiratorial possibility.
- This is a serious strategic failure of the State of Israel and its leader, related to the concept of buying peace with money, and it doesn't matter where the money comes from.
The first option does not make sense to me, and in any case, the party being exploited here is, in the end, precisely Israel. I don't even dare to imagine the second possibility.
We are left with (another) serious strategic failure by whoever has been leading the State of Israel in recent years.
So what has happened to me since then? Project Raven
This is what I wrote then. This week I discovered something I didn't know before, which may shed light on this strange behavior. I am uploading it as a supplement to the previous article published in March. This is not new information. This is simply information I was not aware of when I posted the original article.
This is Project Raven, in which some graduates of the American National Security Agency (NSA) collected information for the United Arab Emirates, and revealed classified Qatari documents.
The subject is covered in detail on the MMRI website, and I refer anyone interested there. Better, of course, to read the things in the original, and see the documents themselves.
Below are relevant quotes:
| "Five documents - classified correspondence between the heads of the Qatari government - deal with Israeli politicians. Three letters from 2012 concerning alleged grants of $15 million to Benjamin Netanyahu and $5 million to Avigdor Lieberman, for the Likud-Beytenu bloc, for an election campaign in which they participated, and two from 2018 concerning an alleged grant of $50 million to Netanyahu alone for an election campaign. ... According to Mark Eicheniger, mentioned above, the documents were delivered in February 2021 to the Israeli ambassador in Switzerland, Ms. Yifat Rashef, along with a photocopy of his passport. Mark Eicheniger is ready to testify to this in court." |
For the sake of honesty, we must admit that there is no proof that the funds actually reached their destination (and probably, we would not see an overt transfer here. For that there are other channels, such as Swiss banking...). What can be said is that someone in Qatar sees a Qatari interest in promoting the election of Benjamin Netanyahu as Prime Minister of Israel. This is a very uncomfortable thought.
Anyway, if I wrote last time that "I don't even dare to imagine the second possibility", so today I'm not sure anymore.

Mamri (MMRI) is an independent non-profit institute for Middle East media research, founded by Yigal Carmon, a former adviser on counter-terrorism matters to three of the Prime Ministers of Israel and the head of the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip. Mamri's publications are considered highly reliable.
Bear also the disgrace of releasing the director of Shifa Hospital, will you blame Egypt and Qatar?
The article deals with the failures of the government's handling of this issue and not whether they are for the benefit of Israel or for the benefit of their brothers, everyone understands that.
The internal power and control struggles described here between Egypt and Qatar can be debated, but when will we wake up from the delusional conceptions that Egypt is good for Israeli interests compared to Qatari interests or vice versa?
These are countries where, if you walk around there for weeks, in my opinion, you won't be able to find a single citizen who doesn't support 7/10 there.
These financed and those opened crossings and then they play it middlemen to get respect and money and it is clear that they are all together in the Middle East wishing for our end and the end of the State of Israel.
I want to believe that because of the issue of the abductees, official Israel does not say the things explicitly regarding the responsibility of Egypt and Qatar for 7/10.
Egyptians consider the "Muslim Brotherhood" a dangerous enemy, and Qatar is the arrowhead of the "Muslim Brotherhood".
A small difference.
Those who established a government with the extreme Islam supported by Qatar were Bennett-Lapid-Lieberman-Ganz.
The minority government relied on the 4 fingers of the Islamic Movement, the extremist branch of Islam that Qatar funds in the Israeli Knesset. So why distort the reality when the reality was even more distorted than those classified documents.
People like Bennett came along, lied to their electorate that they would not form a government without a majority of Jewish Zionists, formed a government without a majority of Jewish Zionists, closed their eyes to the envelopes and suitcases of money from Qatar, played in my opinion in 2021-2023 as if 70 Jews were not murdered every week in terrorist attacks Q And they thought it was possible to "contain" the situation???
The left has no coalition without Qatari representatives in the Knesset. This is the biggest absurdity - we are a democracy at war that does not know how to defend itself from the enemy who uses it for immunity and subversion. Open spies sitting in the Knesset, Tibi style, who went to meet in enemy countries with enemy representatives... Politicians are talking to us, let's start with who spies from within the Knesset?
