Qatar hits out at October 7 probe accusing Doha of funding Hamas's invasion

Qatar’s humanitarian aid didn’t reach the political or paramilitary arms of Hamas, it said on Wednesday in response to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) October 7 probe.

The report, which was released on Tuesday, painted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy of enabling Doha’s funding of Hamas as a contributing factor to the terror group’s decision to launch an invasion on October 7, 2023.

No humanitarian aid was provided to Hamas’s political or military wings by Qatar, Doha’s International Media Office said.

“Claims that Qatari aid went to Hamas are entirely false and serve as evidence that the accusers are intent on prolonging the war,” it noted.

Why do you suppose Hamas spent billions of dollars building a 500 mile tunnel system under Gaza?

Who else funded Hamas? Why were Jordanian diplomats smuggling in currency and gold into the West Bank?

Do the Palestinians have any responsibility in your opinion for creating a Palestinian country or is it just Netanyahu who is preventing this?
