Qatar denies interfering in Israeli elections, calls allegations 'ridiculous and dangerous'

Qatar has firmly denied allegations that it interfered in Israel's recent elections or funded efforts to influence the results. In a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari accused Israeli politicians and media figures of launching a disinformation campaign against Doha. Al-Ansari stated that these claims portray Qatar as financially supporting opposing sides of the Israeli political spectrum, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the political left, and Arab voters.

He emphasized that if these allegations were true, Qatar would effectively own all of Israel, calling the accusations "ridiculous and dangerous." The spokesman reiterated that Qatar has no involvement in Israel's political or electoral competition and will not accept any attempts to draw the country into its domestic political disputes.
