Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism following reports that he was repeatedly warned by Israeli intelligence agencies and Egyptian officials regarding Qatar's financial support for Hamas. According to the reporting, these warnings specifically highlighted that the Qatari funding, which the Prime Minister had previously supported, was being utilized to develop the military capabilities of the terror group.

In addition to the warnings regarding state-sanctioned funding, intelligence officials reportedly uncovered a separate, covert channel of money being funneled to Hamas. The allegations suggest that these funds were instrumental in building the group's war machine, prompting intense scrutiny of the Prime Minister's past policy decisions regarding Qatari involvement in the region.
