The Qatari embassy in the United States issued a harsh condemnation of former Prime Minister and chairman of the "Yashar" party, Naftali Bennett, following his statements against the emirate. In a statement published in the name of media attaché Ali Al-Ansari, it was claimed that Bennett "deliberately spread false information about Qatar in an attempt to advance his political ambitions." Qatar emphasized its role in mediation and securing the release of hostages, and called on Israeli politicians to focus on internal challenges. Bennett responded sharply: "Qatar bears responsibility for the October 7 massacre. Qatar funded October 7, it hosts and shelters the terrorist leaders in Doha to this very moment. You cannot buy me with money. Qatar is an enemy, and we will declare it an enemy."
