Feelings of Revenge and a Desire to Settle Scores: Qatari Involvement in the Elections – Not Surprising | Zvi Yehezkeli
Zvi Yehezkeli argues that Qatari involvement in Israeli elections is unsurprising, given its interference in electoral systems across the West. He links the investigation into the suspicion to the events of October 7 and the strengthening of Arab parties, defining it as a 'quiet jihad' pushed from outside.
Zvi Yehezkeli, a commentator for i24NEWS, argues that Qatari involvement in Israeli elections is not surprising, as Qatar has interfered in most electoral systems in the Western world. According to him, Doha funds foundations, educational institutions, and universities based on an ideology that denies the existence of the State of Israel. The article mentions Israeli connections to Qatar, including Azmi Bishara, Arab Knesset members who visited Qatar, and the Al Jazeera network. Yehezkeli compares the investigation into the suspicion of foreign involvement to a late awakening, similar to the events of October 7, and notes the strengthening of Arab parties in the current elections. He defines the phenomenon as a 'loud jihad and a quiet jihad' pushed from outside by Qatar, and asks whether democracy can contain this.
