Yair Netanyahu, the son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accused Qatar of fueling global antisemitism in an X/Twitter post on Monday.
“Qatar is the main force behind the unprecedented wave of antisemitism around the world, not seen since the 1930s and 1940s,” Netanyahu wrote.
He added that, “Qatar is the modern-day Nazi Germany.”
“Every Jew around the world is in grave danger because of the decades-long vilification of Jews and the Jewish state by Qatar, fueled by the billions of dollars they pour into it.”
Netanyahu further targeted the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his mother, Sheikha Moza bint Nasser Al-Missned, calling them “the modern-day Hitler and Goebbels.”
Israeli speakers criticize Qatar
In May, Netanyahu, along with several other Israeli speakers, criticized Qatar while speaking at the CPAC conference in Budapest.
Netanyahu called the country “a Muslim Brotherhood regime,” which, unlike other Gulf emirates, wants to subject all the West to Sharia law and brainwashes American and European youths to hate their countries and identity, The Jerusalem Post previously reported.
He then told participants at the conference that the so-called pro-Palestinian riots that have taken place in the West since the October 7 massacre are not about Israel or the Palestinians but an expression of the desire of the “red-green coalition” to destroy the West.
“The Left and the Islamists want to destroy Western civilization for different reasons, but they have the same goal. Israel is just the first target.”
In March, N12 reported that Netanyahu had received warnings that Qatari money was being transferred into Gaza to fund Hamas in the years preceding October 7. According to the report, Netanyahu had received at least two warnings regarding Qatari money,
The reason behind Qatar's decision to transfer money into Gaza was attributed to a desire to preserve an appearance of peaceful ties with Israel. This was done with Israel's knowledge, and even encouragement at times, the report said.
