'Israeli' TV labels Sheikha Moza among 'most dangerous enemies'

• The broadcast coincided with the announcement of the death of former Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
• The documentary placed Sheikha Moza alongside several prominent regional figures.
• International media have highlighted Sheikha Moza's influential role in Qatar's education, development, and global outreach.

'Israel' state-owned Kan 11 television channel has broadcast a highly critical documentary characterizing Sheikha Moza bint Nasser al-Misnad -one of the Arab world's most prominent public figures- as being among the "most important and dangerous enemies of 'Israel'."

The classification was unveiled during the premiere episode of the fifth season of the network's weekly investigative documentary series, The Enemies (Ouyouvim).

The broadcast attracted widespread international attention due to its highly sensitive timing, airing in immediate tandem with the Qatari Amiri Diwan's official announcement regarding the passing of her husband, former Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, at the age of 74.

"Powerful woman of Qatar" 

According to the official synopsis published on the program's digital platform, the inaugural episode focused entirely on analyzing Sheikha Moza's extensive domestic and international influence, explicitly labeling her as the true "powerful woman of Qatar."

The documentary alleges that she operates an incredibly sophisticated, non-conventional strategy against 'Israel' through global institutions.

In a move that underscores the severe geopolitical friction between the two nations, Kan 11 formally integrated Sheikha Moza into a select index of high-profile regional figures that 'Israel' officially considers chief adversaries.

The production listed her alongside prominent political and militant leaders, including the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.

Enduring soft-power legacy

Beyond the parameters of the 'Israeli' broadcast, global journalistic agencies have long documented Sheikha Moza's unique geopolitical footprint.

International press repositories, including Reuters, note that she has historically maintained an unusually visible and authoritative public presence compared to the wives of other Gulf Arab rulers, regularly representing the state at high-level foreign summits and official state receptions.

During the rule of her late husband, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, her structural influence became heavily institutionalized across the state's most critical civil portfolios, particularly in the sectors of advanced education, scientific research, and human development.

By steering multi-billion-dollar philanthropic initiatives and driving the state's modernization image, her behind-the-scenes clout successfully elevated Qatar's regional and international standing, a strategic influence that has continued unabated following the transition of executive power to her son, the current Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
