Israeli officials have criticized Qatar for its alleged support of Hamas, accusing the Gulf country of funding terrorism globally. They believe that if Qatar had taken action against Hamas earlier, a hostage deal might have been possible. Qatar has been accused of both supporting Hamas financially and allowing them to operate from within its borders, hindering potential negotiations for the release of hostages.
Reminder: Qatar has every reason to make it seem like hostage deal talks are progressing. Doha continues to fund Hamas and play host to Hamas leadership. Qatar's alleged usefulness in Israel-Hamas negotiations helps shield them from criticism and/or sanctions. https://t.co/PuCdMT9s2P
Qatar doesn't support Palestinians or help America. Instead of providing aid to civilians in Gaza, Qatar blackmails Israel with its funds while harboring the Hamas leaders that ordered the murder & rape of Israeli & American women, taking of hostages & beheading of babies. https://t.co/ME19ow3iry

“Qatar supported Hamas for many years. It cannot be ignored. The Qatari money was also used for good things and also for evil things,” said a top Israeli official. https://t.co/ALH9BRUoEw
Doha should have “kicked Hamas out of Qatar, closed their bank accounts, and said there would be no more funds for Gaza in the future,” absent a deal to release the hostages, a senior diplomatic official has told The Jerusalem Post. https://t.co/ALH9BRUoEw
