Qatar's Prime Minister reportedly discussed the transfer of funds that took place during the tenures of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, in a report Monday evening. The remarks follow his earlier statement that the funds were transparent and approved by the Israeli government.
A report Monday evening quotes Qatar's Prime Minister discussing the fund transfers that occurred during the terms of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. The report follows the PM's earlier statement, which The Zioneer reported at 20:38, in which he said the funds were transparent and approved by the Israeli government under Bennett, Lapid, and then-Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman. The latest account references only Bennett and Lapid, without mentioning Liberman. The fund transfers, which have been a subject of political controversy in Israel, were used to pay Hamas salaries and maintain calm in Gaza, according to previous reports. The Qatari PM's remarks come amid ongoing debate in Israel over responsibility for the October 7 attack and the role of Qatari funding.
