Israel believes that Qatar has made a decision to “destroy the relationship between Israel and the Trump administration from the ground up,” a senior Israeli official tells Ynet.
Qatar is engaged “in jihad,” says the senior official.
Israel sees Qatar as one of the suspects in what it believes is a state-backed global campaign, using intelligence agencies and private companies, to smear Israel online, says an Israeli official.
There have been recent attempts to smooth the fraught relationship between the two countries.
Israeli and Qatari officials met in New York last week, in the first of a series of trilateral meetings set up by US envoy Steve Witkoff, who is looking to mend ties that were frayed by Israel’s botched September strike on Hamas offices in Qatar.
Qatar’s prime minister said in an interview last week that his country will not foot the bill for rebuilding Gaza, despite speculation that it would be the main backer of reconstruction.
