An investigation by i24NEWS has uncovered a potential network of Qatari funding influencing civil society organizations within Israel's Arab community. The report questions whether Qatar, the Galilee Foundation, and NGOs associated with the Balad party are engaged in influence operations in Israel.
The investigation seeks to understand who is financing these organizations and for what purposes the money is being used. It specifically examines an organization involved in "liberation psychology," probing whether its ideas and research are integrated into clinical treatments and educational programs.
i24NEWS is exploring whether this funding represents legitimate support for research and civil activities or a cross-border funding and influence network. The report suggests this network, operating through seemingly independent NGOs, may be advancing an agenda aligned with Qatari interests and the ideology of Azmi Bishara.
