Doha must "decide if it's on the side of civilization or if it's on the side of Hamas barbarism," said the Israeli premier.
(May 4, 2025 / JNS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night sharply criticized Qatar for what he described as “playing both sides” in Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas, calling on the Gulf state to choose whether it supports the Palestinian terrorist organization or the forces of “civilization.”
“Israel is fighting a just war with just means. After the October 7 atrocities, Prime Minister Netanyahu defined the War of Redemption as a war between civilization and barbarism,” read a statement posted to the prime minister’s official X account.
“The time has come for Qatar to stop playing both sides with its double talk and decide if it’s on the side of civilization or if it’s on the side of Hamas barbarism. Israel will win this just war with just means,” the post added.
