Qatar and Turkey Do Not Have Israel's Best Interests at Heart
(Israel Hayom) Zina Rakhamilova - Israel must confront the troubling geopolitical reality of who is shaping the next phase of the conflict with Hamas and what that means for Israel's long-term security. The chaperones of the ceasefire agreement, Qatar and Turkey, do not have Israel's best interests at heart. Since Hamas took over Gaza in 2006, Qatari funding bankrolled the terror group and bears responsibility for the two years of devastation we have endured. Israel's military strike targeting Hamas officials in Qatar appears to have alarmed Doha, bringing the Gaza war to their own soil. This pressure ultimately forced Doha to push Hamas to release all the hostages at once. Did Qatar have this ability all along to force Hamas's hand? Think about how many lives could have been saved if Qatar had done this sooner.
