“Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid is pushing for Qatar to be named an ‘enemy state’ in the latest Israeli political broadside against the Gulf state. Lapid, who is the biggest challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli political scene, said on X on Sunday that he would begin a bill in the Knesset ‘Declaring Qatar an Enemy State,’ which follows months of opposition attacks against the premier on the issue. … Critics of Netanyahu have repeatedly tried to link his government to Qatar due to Doha’s past role in facilitating payments to authorities in Gaza to provide state services and facilitating negotiations between Hamas and Israel.” (02/02/26)
