“Qatar Sponsor and Financier of Terrorism”. Storm Over Accusation by Netanyahu’s Son –

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair Netanyahu has slammed Qatar during a church conference near Miami, saying Qatar is “the largest state sponsor and financier of terrorism following Iran.” Axios and Walla journalist Barak Ravid wrote in a post featuring a video of the Israeli prime minister’s son. Yair Netanyahu’s attack on Qatar comes as Doha is acting as a mediator between Israel and Hamas over the Gaza hostage deal and ceasefire.

Yair Netanyahu, who has been living in Miami for more than a year, writes Ravid once more “advocates radical right-wing ideas and uses his social media accounts to attack his father’s political rivals, public officials and heads of Israeli security services.” Doha’s response was not long in coming, with a Qatari diplomat telling the ‘Times of Israel’ that Yair Netanyahu’s comments “are copied from the talking points of extremist groups that are hostile to any peaceful solution to the Gaza conflict.” “His accusations regarding Qatar being the ‘largest donor’ to US universities,” the diplomat argues, “are also false. In reality, these payments are not donations. They cover the costs of American universities on campuses in Qatar. Qatar has nothing to do with the recent protests on US campuses,” the diplomat adds, referring to the anti-Israeli encampments that sprung up across the country toward the end of the spring semester. “His remarks are irresponsible, particularly at this delicate moment in the negotiations. They can only complicate things further,” warns the diplomat. Yet another storm that closely affects the prime minister of Tel Aviv.
