Qatar has categorically denied any involvement in Israeli elections or funding activities aimed at influencing their outcomes. The Qatari government stated on Thursday that it is not concerned with political or electoral competition in Israel and will not permit its name to be drawn into internal Israeli disputes.
Majed Al-Ansari, Qatar's Advisor to the Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dismissed the accusations as part of a new disinformation campaign. He asserted that these claims, which range from allegations of buying the loyalty of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to funding the Israeli left and influencing Arab voters, are contradictory and absurd.
Al-Ansari described the persistent inclusion of Qatar's name in the electoral discourse as reflecting an excessive obsession with the country among certain Israeli political and media circles. He emphasized that Qatar will not serve as a scapegoat for the political failures of some Israeli politicians.
Instead of deflecting attention towards Doha, Al-Ansari urged Israeli politicians to address the aspirations of their constituents and the regional consequences of their policies.
