Allegations of Qatari interference in Israeli elections, initially promoted by Shin Bet chief David Zini, are reportedly unraveling and appear to be a manufactured "foreign influence campaign." The claims, which burst into public view Thursday, are suggested to have originated from Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, rather than Doha. The Likud party is allegedly using these accusations to hinder political opponents.
