A new Qatar affair, which erupted on Thursday, is increasingly appearing to be a hastily and frantically concocted influence operation, exaggerated in its scope and crudely assembled. More than the signs pointing to its delay, the origin of the current move seems to lie in two Israeli offices, that of the Prime Minister in Jerusalem and that of the head of the Shin Bet in Tel Aviv.
The Likud party's announcement revealing the motives, the preliminary (and contradictory) statement from the head of the Shin Bet, the timing of the information transfer, and the various versions of its content all contribute to the growing signs that this new Qatar affair is, in fact, an Israeli-made product.
