Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has once again labeled Qatar as an enemy, urging Israel to take action against the Gulf state. In an interview, Bennett stated that Israel should gather intelligence and launch a campaign, not necessarily a military one, but a public opinion, economic, and diplomatic effort against Qatar.
This comes after Qatar brokered the ceasefire in Gaza. Bennett also called for regional allies such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt to join in the pressure on Qatar. He emphasized that Qatar, with a population of just 330,000, is causing significant turmoil in Israel. Last month, Bennett threatened to declare Qatar an enemy if elected to government later this year, stating that Qatar's actions, including funding of the October 7 terrorists and support for Al Jazeera, make it more dangerous to Israel than Iran.
