'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bragged during a televised interview about ordering military strikes against Qatar, describing the Gulf state as a "hostile" nation.
In an interview with the 'Israeli' network i24NEWS shared on his social media platforms on Saturday, Netanyahu boasted that 'Israeli' forces had "attacked and bombed" Qatar during the ongoing assault on Gaza, asserting that Doha had failed to dictate ‘Israeli’ policy.

Netanyahu’s public boasting comes days ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Sep. 9, 2025 'Israeli' airstrike on the Qatari capital, Doha.
That attack, which targeted a residential building hosting Palestinian ceasefire negotiators, killed five Hamas members, including the son of senior negotiator Khalil al-Hayya, alongside a Qatari security officer, drawing international condemnation for violating Qatari national sovereignty.
Political observers note that Netanyahu’s inflammatory rhetoric is timed ahead of the 'Israeli' general election scheduled for Oct. 27.

Defending Qatari aid transfers
During the interview, Netanyahu also defended his administration’s facilitation of Qatari humanitarian aid transfers into the besieged Gaza Strip.
Responding to political rivals who accused him of bolstering Palestinian resistance, Netanyahu insisted the funds were distributed under strict protocols recommended by 'Israeli' security agencies, Mossad and Shin Bet, and represented a mere fraction of total regional aid.
Qatari officials have repeatedly rejected 'Israeli' allegations, emphasizing that all financial assistance was strictly audited, transparently allocated for civilian infrastructure, and coordinated directly with both US and 'Israeli' approval.
