Pinhas Inbari: From QatarGate to Qatar Spin – The Mega Fake Trying to Stop a Government

Pinhas Inbari argues in an opinion piece that the Prime Minister's Office is running a 'mega spin' claiming that Qatar bought the Arab vote in the elections, in order to prevent the convening of the Knesset and force new elections. He criticizes the opposition, which he says fails to present a competing discourse, and suggests that Gadi Eisenkot thank Trump and position himself as prime minister.

Pinhas Inbari, a senior researcher, argues in an opinion piece that the Prime Minister's Office is running a 'mega spin' claiming that Qatar bought the Arab vote in the recent elections, in order to prevent the convening of the elected Knesset and force new elections. Inbari calls this 'From QatarGate to Qatar Spin' and asserts that Qatar, a financial superpower, would not fund fuel vouchers for transporting voters in the Negev. He criticizes the opposition, which he says has 'toed the line' with the spin instead of defending the Arab voter. Inbari suggests that Gadi Eisenkot thank President Trump for his support of Israel and commit to advancing his moves to reshape the Middle East, thereby thwarting the circumvention of the election results. He warns that disqualifying the Arab vote on the basis of a 'Zionist consensus' places Zionism on a racist foundation, and claims that President Herzog is reconnecting the pieces of the 'Zionism is racism' resolution that his father tore up at the UN.
