Before Bennett lectures on Qatar: This is what relations with Doha looked like during his tenure

The article examines the Bennett-Lapid government's policy toward Qatar, presenting a series of steps taken during Bennett's term: resuming the transfer of diesel to Gaza funded by Qatar, approving civilian projects in the Strip, advancing a secret diamond deal, allowing Israelis to attend the World Cup in Qatar, and selling Israeli anti-drone technology to Doha. The article presents this as a contradiction to Bennett's current criticism of ties with Qatar.

The article reviews the Bennett-Lapid government's policy toward Qatar, presenting a series of steps taken during Naftali Bennett's tenure as prime minister. It opens with the claim that Bennett is running a campaign against ties with Qatar, but during his time a completely different policy was pursued. Among the steps mentioned: resuming the transfer of diesel to the Gaza power plant funded by Qatar about two weeks after the government was sworn in; approving the entry of goods into the Strip, including Toyota pickup trucks, under the heading 'international civilian projects'; a secret diamond deal that brought Israel and Qatar closer to establishing formal relations; allowing Israelis to come to Qatar to watch World Cup matches in June 2022, as published by then-Defense Minister Benny Gantz; and selling an Israeli high-tech venture to Qatar for securing World Cup games, including anti-drone technology. The article ends with a rhetorical question: 'Who actually worked for Qatar?'
